Catawba Falls

[Over Exposed]

This isn't the main falls obviously, but a vantage I found more interesting. Shot on a D200 with a 35mm prime. C&C welcome

Blue cast? Have more shots from this series?

Nice capture! Took my eyes a few to dial in on what i was looking at.

Me, too, Eric. But once I got it, I was impressed. I wonder how precariously Over Exposted perched him/herself to get that pic.

Great snap.

I really appreciate the compliments everyone. I use to do a lot of shots like this so I guess it's a stronger point for me. I've been trying to learn portrait work for a while now so it was good to take a break and get the gear back in the mountains again.

The blue cast is due to the time of day. Shot very late in the evening just before sunset. The sun had already passed down behind the ridgeline some time prior. Since a tripod is madatory, the perch is usually some what stable, though this one was less stable than most and a bit tricky. The approach to the vantage was a little hairy, but not too bad. Growing up scrambling around the mountains and rock climbing makes it nothing. I use to be into climbing photography too, but it began to eat into my climbing time too much.
