Default Even More Waterfall Shots

In keeping with the recent run of waterfall shots, here are a few I took this weekend, in South and North Carolina.

This is in NC, and was taken from behind the waterfall, in a shallow cave. Not a dramatic amount of water, but a pretty cool setting:

Picklesimer Rock House Falls

This one is called King Creek Falls, and is one of the prettiest I've seen in the area. (Trying to learn B&W conversion.):

King Creek Falls

This is called Spoon Auger Falls. I wish I had either an ultra wide lens or more time to find a better spot:

Spoon Auger Falls

Last is a close up of a portion of Spoon Auger Falls:

Spoon Auger Falls, Close Up

The water going over both King Creek and Spoon Auger Falls goes into the Chattooga River, a picture of which is at this thread.

Thanks for looking.

While they are all nice, I really enjoyed the B&W. Very well done Chip!

excellent series of waterfall images .. that 1st one is really nice .. you're right about the less amount of waterfall but there's a hidden beauty to the overall image .. all are very nice to look at

Thanks very much, Lori. It's good to know I'm not completely off base with the B&W.

Thank you, Hayward. My sense if I could've stayed at the first waterfall longer, I would've enjoyed it even more. But, time was too short, unfortunately.

These are all really nice! The first is my favorite. I love the perspective from behind the falls.

Great shots on them all, the black and white does stand out. The area looks familiar, but I can't place where this is. Yea, I wish I could plug in a jump drive into my ear or elsewhere and find some items. Where are the falls located?

That must have been so cool to stand in the cave, behind the water fall and take your first shot. I'll bet the sound was wonderful, too. I'm with the consensus and I, too, like the BW. I like it partly because it has a nostalgic appeal. It looks like a film photo you might find from trip taken long ago and discovered in an old album. Are you having fun?
