After almost 2 years of no travel, finally got a chance to get somewhere to take some photos. A little later than we would have liked for colors, but still managed to get a few that are decent...and yes, one of them I messed with the sky and just saw when I exported it that it's weird and not very well done...please don't think too harshly of me until I can fix it...
Only took the R6 and the 24-105 f4 L, so was also good practice trip with minimal gear.
It was a road trip, and had to take what I could get for light & weather...but at least it was late in the year & cold enough I was able to get these without any people in them...
Beautiful scenery, thank you!
Beautiful colors and waterfalls.

My state... Good work. Thanks for not being too obnoxious with the cliché "silky waterfall effect". We have a lot of great waterfalls in NC.

Thanks. We were trying to cover a lot of ground in 4-5 days, so only got to those that were easily accessible with short hikes. I was pretty happy with what I got at the upper Pearson Falls (that's the one I monkeyed with the sky and screwed up...need to fix it before I print it).
And the one straight on at Looking Glass. Water flow was low enough that I could get out and use the rocks at the lower end of the pool as a foreground.
Even though the waterfalls are the "primary" focus, in pretty much all of them I was trying to get the detail in the rocks as well. Had never been to the Carolinas.
Lived in Colorado & NM for about 15 years, so it was a pleasant change of what "mountains" are.

Yes, mountains in the East are rolling hills compared to those in the West. The lush green (or multi-colored Fall) foliage is a huge change, too. I took a business trip to Keystone, CO, in the summer of 1993. That was a "wow" of a different kind!
Beautiful set of waterfalls.
Well done and you chose the correct equipment.
Really nice! And I agree about the silky water effect, just right.
Very nice series! Thanks for sharing 😀
Being a somewhat hybridizer of rhododendrons I really liked seeing the Rhododendron Maximum in #3. It's nice to see the plants where they are at home in such a beautiful setting.
