in the Dupont State Forest, Cedar Mountain, North Carolina. The Falls consists of three distinct cascades, totaling about 120 feet in vertical drop. It was featured in the movie Last of the Mohicans. This photo shows a small section of one of the drops.
Triple Falls, Du Pont State Forest.
Easily reached by a steep but short hike, this location has all three falls in view at the same time, but at the cost of being a bit distant. Total height of the falls is around 100 feet. Good views of the upper two cascades can be gained by taking the steps down to the viewing area at the top of the lower cascade. And I imagine that a good view of the lower cascade can be had from the base which seems popular with anglers.
Hooker Falls, located on the Little River in western North Carolina was photographed on an early, foggy morning. Two stop HDR was used with a Canon 80D and a Canon 17-40 mm f/4L lens.
Got out a bit early yesterday to photograph Merry Falls before the sun lit it up. With the recent rains we've had it really looked the best I've seen. The green rhododendrons hid the fact that all the trees are now leafless. Not accustomed to shooting when temps are only in the 30s. A bit chilly for sure.

Triple Falls, located outside of Asheville, NC was photographed on an autumn morning. A Canon 80D and a Canon 17-40 mm f/4L lens was used with a polarizer and two stop HDR to capture the wide dynamic range.
Couple of friends took me to Wintergreen Falls for the first time last week. The falls are located in the DuPont State Forest outside of Brevard, NC. It was a pretty easy 2.4 mile roundtrip hike.
Compositions are few since you have a limited area to move around. You can get a straight on angle of the falls but the rocky foreground seemed better to me.
The heavy cloud cover made for very uneven lighting so I had to do more processing than normal. This photo includes stacking five images. But in the end I like the way this one turned out.

Dupont State Forest and Hooker Falls was my first stop on Saturday. I was hoping for just a cloudy day...but geez it was raining steadily the whole time at this stop. Many of the maple leaves had already fallen, but there was still enough yellows and reds for my liking.
High Falls in Dupont State Forest, was photographed on a beautiful fall morning. Two stop HDR was used to capture the flowing water along with the bright blue skies. The waterfall is located outside of Asheville, NC.
High Falls in Dupont State Forest was seen on a sunny autumn day. The waterfall was part of a three waterfall hike consisting of Hooker Falls, Triple Falls and High Falls. This one was my favorite by far. The lighting was a little harsh; however, with two stop HDR, I was able to manage the dynamic range.
The leaves are changing - especially the bush in the foreground. It was in full color. Hooker Falls is on the Little River in the DuPont State Forest, in Western North Carolina. It is one of 4 major waterfalls on the Little River in this area. The others are High Falls, Triple Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls.
Merry Falls, Brevard.
Formerly on private land but now under the umbrella of Du Pont State Forest this is a lovely roadside waterfall. Quite small and set down below the road so easy to miss if you don't have gps coords - I had to ask a passing cyclist, who said 'well there's an itty bitty fall just up the road...'
A new trip for me today! Have been to Bridal Veil Falls in DuPont many times, but I've never gone up to the top and gone under the upper falls overhang. It's incredible! It's like being in another world! Absolutely worth the trek and getting wet from the spray.

My daughter was amazed by the view of High Falls in Dupont State Forest near Asheville, NC. The sunlight, small aperture and mist made an impactful composition.

Hooker Falls in DuPont State Forest, North Carolina.
After 2 years waiting, and poring over Kevin Adams' 'Waterfalls of North Carolina' book I finally made it to NC for a waterfall/foliage trip.
Trying to match Kevin's work on even just a tiny sample of NC's waterfalls seems quite daunting. But here's no.1 - Hooker Falls.

To all of my American flickr family, friends, and contacts ... wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving Day tomorrow.
While Thanksgiving Day is always important, I think that this year in particular, we should make sure to take the time to reflect upon what we personally are thankful for ... whether that be for the love of family and friends, our jobs, our health, or our freedom. Too often we take these things for granted, however, in today's world I think that it's more on all of our minds. I know that for me, I won't be out in the madness of shopping, but I do hope to get out in nature, then celebrate with at least some of my family, as we've been split a bit this year. It's OK, because we'll have our celebration of thanks as a united family in just a few weeks hopefully. As they say ... good things come to those who wait. :-)
This image is that of High Falls, one of the waterfalls within the Dupont State Forest near Asheville. The 125' waterfall over the granite rocks is amazing to see, especially when visited in the autumn season, as it can be framed nicely in those beautiful fall colored trees.
I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again ... where did this year go??? Hard to imagine that it's almost December. Yikes!
In closing, I would like to say that part of what I'm thankful for this year is having wonderful friends, like you, who share the same passion of nature, adventure, and photography. Some of you I've had the pleasure to meet and photograph with together ... others I haven't. I hope that ours paths cross one day soon.
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for sharing any thoughts and comments that you might have.

Photo taken a month ago of the lower tier of Triple Falls in the DuPont State Forest near Brevard, NC.
Conditions this day were perfect to capture deep autumn colors. Water flow was a bit low. I guess you can't have everything.

Bridal Veil Falls, Du Pont State Forest.
This is just the top cascade of the falls, which are massive and featured in Last of the Mohicans. Would love to come back when the falls are in full flow.
Hooker Falls was beautiful yesterday morning. It's located in the DuPont State Forest between Hendersonville and Brevard, North Carolina.

Missed the peak colors at Hooker Falls this year by just a few day. Nuts!! I did manage to get a bit of color in though. Got some good ones last year though. Whew!
Hooker Falls is located between Brevard and Hendersonville, NC, in the DuPont State Forest. Its a short easy hike so there's no reason no to stop by if you're in the area.
