Lost was a little hyperbolic. Following a creek, it's hard to get truly lost. When I was young, I used to hop over a small creek behind my parents' house and wander in the undeveloped woods. I have a pretty strong sense of direction and remember landmarks so I never got really lost. I have a lot of fond memories of those woods, that I am reminded of when hiking out in remote areas.

Here's a photo from the confluence of Wildhog Creek and Canada Creek, after returning from the falls above. Taken with my 65mm f/8 SA:

Ha, of course it's also possible to be SOL and know exactly where you are...the classic scenario here in the GSMNP is flyfishermen not making it around the "Horseshoe" of Abrams Creek before nightfall, then thinking they can climb out of the gorge.

At any rate, the last shot is my favorite of your series--UWA certainly gives you "graphic" possibilities I really haven't considered.

More great stuff, Bryan! You've really found your stride.

I feel the same way. Great work Bryan!

Thanks guys! This new trail has gotten me really excited to shoot. I have been in a rut lately and didn't feel like going to shoot much because either I had shot so much at many of the local places or other areas were so far away as to need more planning/time than I had. This trail is only about 45 minutes away and makes for a great 'impulse' shooting spot, and has lots of variety. It's been a good week for photography! :)

Love this. I grew up in Brooklyn. Sometimes i wish I grew up in nature. But then again, we had great pizza in Brooklyn.

Climbed over the rock on the right and onto a big pile of branches that had floated down and shot into the pool, where lots of foam had accumulated, using a polarizer to increase my exposure time:

Maybe in a few weeks this pool will be filled with leaves and I can get a different image. The foam was too thick for my liking.

[QUOTE=Corran; Exposure was 6 minutes at f/90, metered at an EI of 200 and calculated with reciprocity at t^1.31[/QUOTE]

FIO Is the 6 minutes before or after using the Ilford reciprocity factor P?

After

Thanks Ben!
