Fortunately, I married someone (pretty wonderful I might add) who likes to travel. She works in the health care industry, so the work schedule and twelve hour shifts are challenging for both of us. So, whenever she gets a block of days off, we try to get away together. We searched online and found a chalet with a beautiful view just outside of Gatlinburg for two nights. It was a very relaxing trip and we did get out twice to photograph some waterfalls. Both of these were accessible and right beside the road. It was such an incredible contrast being in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge beside all the airbrush T-shirt shops and funnel cakes, then driving ten minutes out of town to view such incredible scenery. Meigs Falls is shown at the top while Place of a Thousand Drips is on the bottom. The key to successful waterfall photography is to shoot them when there is no direct sun on them. We lucked out at both of these. Although the bottom photo was created after the sun had set and it was kind of hard to see because it was dark. The exposure was for about 20 seconds. Naturally, a sturdy trip and cable release is required. And, yes, we did eat at least one pancake house while cruising through town!
