A couple of Mouse Creek Falls in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is way at the north end of the park near I-40. Kind of a one way dirt road in and a 2 mile hike. One with a six stop ND and one without. Just a little tweak of highlights and shadows and a touch of tone curve in DPP4.

Hi Stephen,

As you may have gathered, we do like waterfalls - and what a splendid set of cascades!

Thank you for sharing…

Yes I like the water in the 2nd one ... I don't get the really soft long exposure water effect in photographs

Hi Tui,

That looks like a peaceful spot for a relaxing stroll - and can we spot blue skies?

(We’re not at all jealous… ).

A total fluke … was just photographing the tunnel when the boy popped out

As promised (somewhere on the site - possibly not in this thread... ), some images from our recent-ish visit to Snowshill Manor.

1. Snowshill Manor, near Broadway in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, England, was built c.1550.

2. It was the home of Charles Paget Wade (1883-1956) - an eccentric and avid collector.


3. He built up an incredible collection of over 30,000+ ‘things he found interesting’, of which only 30-ish were actually purchased from overseas.


4. Many famous people visited Snowshill to meet with Mr Wade and see his collection including - J B Priestley, Virginia Woolf, Graham Greene and Queen Mary.


5. Several years before he died, Mr Wade offered Snowshill to the National Trust as a way of safeguarding the future of the manor and garden and Snowshill has been in the care of the National Trust since 1952.

Beautiful images. They are all so interesting, must have been a great visit. The light in the interior shots is super.

Hi Hali,

Cheers - appreciated!

A very busy, but fascinating, place to visit. Quite cramped with often a mix of dimly lit and brightly lit situations to contend with, but a really fun challenge for photography and we had a fine time.

Certainly recommended - if you happen to be passing…

It was fun, macro abstracts were the theme. Now I have a bunch of things I want to buy, including stained glass, colored gels, and of all things, milk crates.
