p.1 #1 · Beach or Beech? + Revision

Living in central North Carolina, I am just a few hours from either the beach or mountains. When one is not sure which one to choose for a weekend getaway, there is always Beech Mountain.

A few weeks ago, we borrowed a friend's cabin for the weekend at Beech Mountain. Just down a ways from the cabin is a trail along Bear Creek. Here is a shot I took there. Hope you enjoy.

Very nice, Ed. It doesn't look like you could have gotten much lower without a snorkel.

Hello Ed, looks like a fine place to spend a weekend. Thanks for sharing the falls.

PS - not sure why or if it indicates a problem, but this image took a very long time to load - almost two minutes

Hi, Hugh.

Not sure why it took so long. Just tried it on my laptop, and it took only a few seconds.

Cheers,
Ed

Just looked on mine and it loaded pretty quick. Lovely picture, would be better without the leaves. Perfect exposure, etc. I really like the rock in the foreground.

Very nice. Love the composition, the saturation and the slow shutter.

Lovely little stream! The leaves in the ULC are a bit distracting, but I love the feeling I get from looking at this!

One of the most pleasing and relaxing photographs I have seen for a very long time. We are suffering a heat wave here and that water and location looks cool in more ways than one. Thanks.

Lovely shot. I agree about the leaves in he upper left corner, but sometimes it's just unavoidable!

Nice satin like waters - very nice feel to the shot. Yes the leaves are distracting but that's life around moving water. Short of taking a second faster shot and blending that's hard to avoid.

Nice mood to this setting - thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful serene shot Ed, but you should have been lying in the water to avoid those leaves

I have just posted a revision to this shot, that removes the leaves in the upper left corner. Hope this works better.

Hey Ed,

What a cool little waterfall! I really like the look of this one. Losing the blurry leaves in the upper left corner really really helps the shot. And good job on removing them from the image!
