Spent quite some time at this spot and experimented with different pov, apertures and focal lenses. Here I have chosen a low pov and put the focus on the stonewall surrounding the graveyard. The background got only slightly blurred because of the chosen intermediate aperture and the wide lens setting. I tried also a very open aperture which created a shallower depth of field, but liked this one more. Some LR work for the clouds, but they were dramatic in reality :)
Looking up from an early part of Stonewall Peak Trail which leads to a 360-degree view from the peak on the left.
This is about the best I could get at Stonewall Falls in Rabun Co. The sun was out, more than in and when it was in it was only very briefly. It made for a tough time exposing the image. I have not fully decided if I like this shot or not, the composition seems a little off, the falls to me is pushed too far to the right side.
On the way to cooking class I saw this high wall. It made me think of Kaffe Fassett and his amazing fabric designs.
Equestrian statue of Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson on Henry House Hill at the Manassas Battlefield. The battle of First Manassas (First Bull Run) was fought here on 21 July 1861. Jackson received the nickname "Stonewall" when General Barnard Bee (killed shortly thereafter) directed his troops to rally behind Jackson, who was "standing there like a stone wall".
Manassas, Virginia
With some recent rains and a couple of cloudy days it was time to do some woodland exploring. The first stop over the weekend was the beautiful Stonewall Falls. This is a waterfall I had always heard of but never taken the time to venture back to. These smaller waterfalls with downstream scenic cascades never disappoint, and I was pleasantly surprised by the photo opportunities here. There were some other water features along the creek, but most of those were hit by a good bit of downfall... luckily the primary falls itself is all clear.
I put together a video of the adventure if you would like to see this waterfall along with some other sights & sounds of the creeks in action.

Starting in Lavita Colorado we drove up towards Cordova Pass on 12 and pulled over to photograph some of the riders on a downhill section of the Stonewall Century ride. This is a 102 mile ride. I like to test my high speed panning skills with cyclists as they wiz by. I ended up with several keepers but this one may be my best.
For those of you interested in the tech side of this; What makes this difficult is keeping predictive focus trained on his head while panning steadily to match his speed in order to keep him sharp at a slow 1/50 sec shutter speed. This will give you a nice blurred background emphasizing his speed.
