Tennessee hiking (waterfalls!)

travelguy92 · Oct 23, 2017

Tennessee always takes forever to turn colors, which I kind of like and kind of hate. Fall is my favorite time of year and its always frustrating to watch the rest of the world get color while I'm still sitting in 85 and humid with lots of green. That being said... our fall colors usually last until Thanksgiving and that I love! Anyways, yesterday I went and did a bit of hiking down by Chattanooga and there was finally some color change.

I need to replace my ND filters as they were somehow lost in a recent move. So all of the waterfall photos were taken at F/22 and low low low iso. Luckily it was a pretty dense forest and an overcast day so I got away with about 8 seconds of shutter. Anyways, on any of the photos I welcome feedback

#4 works for me.

Very nice set! Even though we're only 75 miles south of Chattanooga, we have yet to see much color at all. Maybe soon?

#4 just jumped at me too. I like it very much. I grew up about 3 hours from you on Lake Cumberland and enjoy seeing shots from you.

Nice set. I really like that last one. Hard for me to comment on #4 as I can't see it all at once on my monitor (which, while not enormous is pretty big).

Love them all, especially 1,6,7. Surprised they look like that without a ND.

Great set! #6 for me.

Very nice set. #4 is the winner for me.

Thank you much! I find it very interesting that #4 is the popular vote. Mostly because while I was taking it, I felt that it was a fantastic shot and I was very excited. I even tried to replicate it but couldnt. However upon processing I began to doubt. Anyways, I just find it interesting. I myself love 4 and 7. Thank you again for all the kind words!

Yes probably! I live in Nashville and we just started getting color this weekend. But its happening quickly, probably because in the last week weve dropped from an average of about 78 to 58 during the day.
