I love the look of this photo. I wish I could have captured more of how foggy the forest looked but I still think the lighting was right on. Right as I was taking this picture about a 6 foot bear appeared to my right. So as you could imagine I wasted no time grabbing my camera and tripod as a whole and making tracks up the trail. Seeing that I was alone about a 1/4 mile down from where I parked. Then again maybe I should have taken a picture of it too...
I think this is a pretty cool photo. I didn't think any photos of this waterfall were going to come out because of how bright it was and I didn't have any filters with me. I usually take long exposures of waterfalls to get the milky water effect but didn't on this photo because for one, it was too bright, and two, I kinda thought if I did it would ruin the effect of the photo. Everything would blend together and the features would be lost. Its a man-made dam with natural rocks and a river at the base. A clash of two powers so to speak. Then again maybe it all just in my own head...

I took this at 4am in PA. The highway was shut down for a few hours. I was driving home from MA to NC. I bypassed the road block and went on up like I was a reporter or something. Everyone believed me and didnt care that I was there as long as I stayed out of the way. I wish I had a tripod because I took around 50 pictures but its hard to take crisp night shots with the camera in your lap and firefighters running around you. This was one of my favorites. I captured a moment when this one firefighter took off his helmet because he needed a rest. The backlit smoke adds to the drama. Doesnt come close to what it was like to be there though. Such an oppertunity!
