This is another view of Triple Falls, this is the top portion. This is an 11 shot HDR, tonemapped in Photomatix, then "tweeked" in PSE-9. Hope you enjoy!
Day trip to look for Yellow Lady's-slipper orchids in nearby, DuPont State Forest near Cedar Mountain, North Carolina. Although we were just a bit late for the best of the Large Yellow Lady's-slipper orchids, we did find a few that were still holding on. We had much better luck with the Small Yellow Lady's-slipper orchids. We also made a side trip for Aplectrum hyemale or Puttyroot orchid, and we found a few pretty good ones.

There's no feeling like driving 10 hours down to the mountains, hiking an hour to a nice waterfall, opening your camera bag and realizing that you left your ND filters in Ohio.....luckily I didn't intend on shooting that many waterfalls this trip down anyway. I did have my circular polarizer which did help out a bit but any exposures more than 3/4 of a second were out of the question, at least on this one.

Triple Falls, located in the Dupont State Forest in NC. Those looking for a great place to do some day-hiking should visit this park; the trails are very well-marked, and there are numerous waterfalls for some great scenery. I'm planning on going back this fall, once the leaves start changing.
Triple Falls is a 125-foot (38 m) waterfall located in the DuPont State Forest, southeast of Brevard, North Carolina.

This is my first time visiting the beautiful waterfalls at Dupont State Forest in western North Carolina and I must say the park have some of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen.
This waterfall appeared in the movie Last of the Mohicans. This shot was taken in not the greatest lighting conditions (bright sunny morning) but spending time with my wife and brother in-law in a nice fall day made the trip worthwhile.

After looking at the weather forecast before leaving for this trip I concluded that light was going to be an issue for long exposures for a couple of the days, I had borrowed a friends neutral density filter to see how well it would work in difficult lighting situations. This filter is a 10 stop, 3.0 ND filter usually used for photographing extreme bright light and if you put the filter up to your eye you can barely see through it. The effects were somewhat surprising, I didn't expect how warm (almost sepia) look the filter created. The worst part of shooting with this filter was you had to guess where to point the camera as you could not see through the view finder.
