If the icicles scattered around this image give you the impression that it could be cold in this area of the Blue Ridge Mountains in January, then you would be correct. Despite the weather it was great to get outdoors for some fresh air.
I captured this image using my 70-200mm f/2.8, tripod mounted and using a circular polarizer. Thanks as always for stopping by.
Beautifully framed, an incredible photo of these falls. Nice, nice, nice.
magic!
What a beautiful shot of the wintery falls
Beautiful! I remember it well from my time living in NC – not enough snow for my liking, but p-l-e-n-t-y of ice. Great shot!
Stunning waterfall – I love the sound and the sight of one! Thanks for sharing:)
Wonderful scene and photo.
It does look cold, but beautiful š
Great capture!! Very well done!
Thanks, Kurt!
Great photo! Great falls!
Less than a mile from my front door!
That is a little more than fortunate. You live in a beautiful corner of the world.
do you remember the shutter speed?
Yes. Exposure 1.6 @ f/20.0 ISO 200. If anyone cares to see EXIF data for any of my images I usually post them on Flickr also. I include the EXIF data when I export. (I usually shoot with a Nikon GP-1 attached. So, if you are up for an adventure, you should be able to use the GPS coordinates that are in the EXIF info also.) http://www.flickr.com/photos/7989010@N04/
Beautiful Photo, Truely Breathtaking.
Thanks, Mike. I really like your blog!
Thank you :). Means a lot to hear that :).
Despite the icicles, the water really seems to flow in this lovely photo. Makes me cold just looking at it!
I can’t wait for the winter to go away and take some pictures like this one š
Really beautiful shot, Toby!
Thanks for the kind words, Cindy. I really like your blog. (Especially the nature and landscape images.)
What a stunning cascade. I’m envious! But I always though the Blue Ridge Mountains were in Virginia as in the Laurel and Hardy song! Guess I need to visit and see for myself.
Thanks for the kind words, Richard. I wasn’t aware they extended as far south as Georgia until I moved here a few years ago. But the Blue Ridge range of the Appalachians extend from Pennsylvania in the north all the way to Georgia in the south. You may need to make a week of it to see the full range. I’ve spent most of my time shooting the Blue Ridge in Georgia and North Carolina due to geography and time constraints. But, I plan to extend my range. The images on your blog are incredible! I especially love your B&W images.
Awesome work on this image!
Thanks for the kind words, Ken & Liz.
