    Great shots from the Smokies. Haven't been to that waterfall - it's on my list now though!

The falls are unique in that the trail actually goes behind them. I was the first one there and took 3 different compositions, the large format equivalent of spray-and-pray! All are Ilford Delta 100 4x5, souped in Ilfosol-3, 4:15 at 68F, using BTZS tubes (my first time using these and I'm absolutely sold on them!). Scanned using an Epson V700. C&C welcome and appreciated!

    Wonderful collection, Alan. Very well seen and photographed.
    Certainly worth the early start and hike to get there. Thanks for sharing.

    Great Smoky Mountains National Park on my list of places to visit. Your images are a good reason to visit soon !
    Any particular time of year best ?

    Regards,

    I know just enough to be dangerous !

    This is another from my Utah trip. This is the backside of Factory Butte.

    Very nice image. I do like "backside" in general but this one is very majestic even if not on a woman :-)

    I'll have to add these falls to my list, too.

    I like the slender threads of water in image #2.

    Those soft-sloping contours in the foreground please the eye – I can see why Southeast Utah attracts so many mountain bikers.

    And what a contrast those contours form with the butte's sharp, jagged crown.

    Thanks Dennis! My favorite time, and probably the most popular time, is in the fall. The color is truly spectacular! There is one major consideration to visiting in the fall though, and that is how crowded the park will be! Weekends are usually MISERABLE due to traffic. Don't let this keep you from visiting though, it just takes a little planning. Try to get there early and if possible on weekdays.

    The next best time to visit IMO is in the spring around the beginning of May. The park's wildflowers will be in full bloom, and the green of the new leaves is a great color show in its own right. Arriving early is again recommended. For this particular hike, as I was setting out I had the entire park to myself. On the return trip I probably passed 50 people on the trail!

    Nice shot Kabbott.. Loving the colours.. Portra 160 is not a film I normally associate with hues like this. Really nice.

    Wicked Harley. I drove past Factory Butte 2 years ago but didn't have time to stop.
