Today we headed out from Cornelius to the Blue Ridge Mountains to join a Meetup Group to take photos of the waterfalls at DuPont State Forrest. The 2.5hr drive did not leave me dissapointed and this shot of Hooker Falls is probalby my favourite of the day....
We then hiked for a little while to get to Triple Falls and then onto High Falls where I only shot images from the bottom of the fall, and not the top. (High Falls is the third image down.)
All in all it was a great day. The chillier temps (in the 60's) made it perfect for hiking, especially when going uphill and lugging a bunch of camera gear and a tripod.
I'd quite like to repeat the adventure, with a little local knowledge in hand and perhaps a bit more time to contemplate the "shot" with a little less chaos, as it was very busy along the trail today.
None the less, it was fun, nice to meet new people, stretch my camera wings again and get my freckles dusted with sunshine....
Stunning! I'm still looking these over. But I had to exclaim to you now, while seated in my quiet office. Okay, back to examine these again.
