Post your best current shots

[Dave Johnston]

I love all the snowy pictures. It never really snows in South Carolina.

Here are the some images from a recent waterfall hunting adventure in the upstate of SC. Winter is a tough time to shoot waterfalls as most of the vegetation is brown, and doesn't add much to the framing. At any rate, I was able to see a few places I'd like to re-visit in the spring and fall.

5DIII + 17-40 4L @ 20mm 0.5" f8.0 ISO-100 "Kings Creek Falls" I like that there was a casual hiker here to show the scale of these falls.

5DIII + 17-40 4L @ 37mm 1.3" f11.0 ISO-100 "Spoonauger Falls" This was my favorite waterfall of the day and was nearly the smallest.

Thanks for looking and tips/advice on improvement,

Dave.

It looks like you still have a lot of green around. We haven't seen any green for a quite a while now.

If you had not mentioned the hiker, I would have missed it. That must be a big falls, and the dead tree that fell across the falls must be large.

Thanks for sharing... my wife and I love waterfalls. It looks like we are going to need to take a drive to S.C. some day.

You should dedicate a week or so if possible as the up state of SC and also the neighboring area in NC have a good 20 waterfalls all within 2-3 hrs driving distance. A number of the falls here are GIGANTIC. There are two that I know that are 300+ feet. One of those is the largest fall east of the Mississippi (Whitewater falls). The best autumn shots down here (in the mountains) are had in mid to late October. Its definitely worth the trip.

Thanks for the information. We already have a book of waterfalls in the area to start planning... but there are a lot of waterfalls around there to sort through.
