Did you get hurt?

Not this time. But I did recently stand on a fallen tree to get a better vantage point for a shot. It turns out that the tree was completely rotted out and crumbled under my feet, causing me to fall flat on my back. Thankfully no cameras or bones broken 🙂

Thank you Stephen, that means a lot :smile: I have always admired your fantastic work you have shared. I have an extensive archive of stuff, much has rarely or never been shared. I will try and contribute here. Most of this is very recent stuff, I try to get out once or twice a week in the woods with a camera. I will work backwards and try to share more local stuff though I do have images from all over the US. Prefer black and white, shoot some color in the warmer months and that other format (d***tal) on occasion for a planned shoot.

Jon, I look forward to seeing what you decide to share. Images need to be shared and seen, which is why I decided to upload my work. You're already off to a great start. +1 on the old Boy's Academy.

This is a different composition of an image I captured last spring. Virgin Falls, TN, Nikon FM2n, series e 35/2.8, TMY-2, kodak pakon scanned. Probably d76 1:1 developed. This was tough hike in, about 4.5 miles of climbing an descending a mountain. Of course it was 4.5 miles back the same way.

?? Not exactly sure what you mean but I think I do. Hopefully I answer correctly. If not, just let me know :smile: The falls come from out of the escarpment (underground river), fall below, then go back underground at the base. No escape from the subterranean depths except for this brief appearance as an above ground falls. The water I would imagine joins the Collins River at some point as it is below in the valley.

As an aside, these type of falls are numerous in this region, some just a trickle, others like this, some just wet weather, then those that start as streams, fall to underground depths or vice versa. I will post some other examples that I have photographed over the years.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

So if you descended to the location and hiked back the same way, were you also descending on the way back? :wink:

@ Sirius Glass

To share some examples, here is 1 I have photographed numerous times over the years. Milk Sick Creek Falls. Interestingly, the stream in the foreground is wet weather only, the falls never meets the stream but goes directly back underground. You can clearly see the seep from the top where it appears in this composition.

Leica M5, canon 28/3.5 ltm (most likely), delta 100 film, kodak pakon scan

And a color (kodak pro image 100, canon 7ne, 17-40L) version from a unique perspective. The falls go underground on the opposite side of the foreground boulder.

Ahhhh, I see :smile: Well, I started at the base, hiked up the mtn, then most ways back down (went over the top) to get to this fall, then back up over the top and back down.
