Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers many photographic opportunities, ranging from spring wildflowers to autumn color, from wildlife to moody early morning mist to fiery sunsets. Despite all the other possibilities, the almost innumerable streams and waterfalls within the Park are my favorite photographic subjects, regardless of the season. Nearly all the way up the trail to one of the Park's far more famous waterfalls--Rainbow Falls--is this small but very picturesque unnamed waterfall, tumbling over a shelf of rock and falling about 12 feet to a tributary of LeConte Creek. On an early April morning in 2007, I had the little waterfall to myself for about half an hour. Overcast skies eliminated any problem with excess contrast, and I made numerous exposures utilizing numerous compositions. I felt this one best captured the beauty of the little waterfall in the context of its forested, heavily-bouldered setting.
