May 11, 2013 14:00 | #1 I usually only do motorsports photography but got the bug to try something new this morning, so I headed to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and tried my hand at shooting some waterfalls. I am pleased with them but would love any tips that would make them better since I'm just starting out...

rrblint Listen! .... do you smell something?  More info | These are nice and I really like #3, but they are cropped a little to closely for me. Maybe you could use a wider lens and get a bit more of the surrounding terrain in the shots to provide a better context for the waterfalls. Mark

Definitely....Wasn't used to my ears screaming with running water sounds rather than horsepower, still alot of fun to shoot.
