Having spent some quality time at Linville Gorge, the next destination on our itinerary was Crabtree Falls. Again it was Ela's idea. As always, it turned out to be a good decision. A moderate hike from the place where we parked the car took us to the waterfall. Truly exquisite, the waterfall is a photographer's delight. I just wish I had a wide-angle lens to capture this beauty.
The return journey was quite adventurous. We decided to step away from the trodden path and find our way back through uncharted territory. The forest floor was covered in fallen leaves and there were no trails or as much as an indication of the way forward. The trek was tough but thoroughly enjoyable. And we made it back to the car, safe and sound albeit completely out of breath.
Those falls are tastefully done!

Deletenice waterfall. might I suggest a slightly longer exposure. I like the pics to be a bit more brighter but you pics are good as is as well. Rishi
ReplyDeleteI keep experimenting with shutter speed when taking waterfalls. Sometimes too slow shutter ends up making the water look like vapours instead of showing the flow. In this case, the amount of water in the fall is very less. I need to work on exposure some more I guess to get a well exposed picture. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteThat's an interesting and apt name for this waterfall. Where exactly is this place?
ReplyDeleteThis is in North Carolina near Asheville, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.
