Looking Glass Falls was the one waterfall we visisted last weekend that I had actually been to before. I've actually been there several times. In fact, when we were there in May 2007 with our friends Natalie and Bernardo, I took a shot from this very location, sans the fall color.
One comment about the manipulation of this image- as happy as I am with GIMP, this is one place where I miss Photoshop. I haven't figured out yet how to lighten up harsh shadows in GIMP, something that is pretty easy in Photoshop. The log in the foreground here has some really nice character, but you lose it in the shadows.
This picture concludes the waterfall portion of this slideshow of pictures I took last weekend. Up next will be fall colors from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
(Those who don't like the placement of the tree in this image, might prefer an alternative framing. The major problem here is that the focus isn't quite right, meaning that I could never blow this picture up as big as the on posted.)
