Burden Falls

This is the waterfall at which I "cut my photographic teeth." I still remember taking my first photographs of this waterfall back in high school (and how disappointed I was with the results). It pleases me greatly to have finally developed the skills necessary to do this place justice

Nicely captured Taylor. The only little nit I se is the little green sprouts coming from the rock just above and to the left of the lower splash rocks. Not sure if that would be a nit to pick in a large wall decor display, but as a small screen display it just draws my eye. Congrats on the teeth coming through.

Very nice photo. Was this in southern Illinois? I keep telling myself to go farther than Springfield and see what is in the south. Thanks for sharing.

John, yes - it's worth the trip down here, I think. There are a lot of gems down here that are not photographed very often. Don't expect to see the falls running like this, though.. this was taken after a big rain. It's been very dry lately so it's probably trickling now.

Burden Falls Upper Cascade

Here is one more from Burden Falls. This is the upper cascade, a little ways up from the main fall.

All nice shots. Need to get down to your end of the state one of these days has been years.

Glad to see it has been good to you.

With the shape of the rock in the foreground I think going for a square crop around it might really work well.

Isn't it fun to go back and re-shoot a subject, and come away with a much improved image that shows how much we have grown and learned in photography?

Nicely done, Taylor..looks like a great place to capture many compositions!

Another place I need to visit. Really nice lighting and the mist is great.

Excellent shot Taylor. I too keep telling myself I need to get down to the Shawnee, and Cache River area to do some shooting. Maybe this fall I'll get away for a few days.

Boy, I wouldn't chang a thing here. nice leading lines etc... ditto all the other positeve comments. I sould love to see this in the fall... maybe on a rainy day

Very dynamic image, nicely captured.
