 Trick1906 viewsWaterfalls don't really look like this. A local photographer is confident enough in his own work to share this trick.

Rotate the polarized filter for the least glare. Close the aperture as much as possible.(I use f-11) With the shutter speed as low as possible, (shoot for a full second if possible), start experimenting until you get just the photo you are looking for. I prefer mine a little dark so I can process them using Picasa 3. The silky look is directly tied to shutter speed and a cloudy day doesn't Aug 18, 2011

 Big and Little2278 viewsBig Jim is on the starboard and Little Jim on port.
(for Sandcrabs port and left have four letters)

Big Jim is my living history lesson for an area called Bumpass Cove. He can tell you waterfalls can be dangerous. Broke his back as a child falling from one, living up Patty Creek.

They are in pictured in California Fields, TN. Where there are more bears than folks. That's
because the Forest Service owns that area now. Aug 17, 2011

 Bare-throated Tiger-Heron1908 viewsFound this aviator looking back at me from a Costa Rico mangrove swamp.

Don't blame me if it aint a "Bare-throated Tiger-Heron". I just used an ID book of birds to find out what it is.
