I squeezed in a hike to Shellberg Falls yesterday, a place I had never been before. Perfect conditions however I sure wished I owned a wider lens - needed just a little more. ;-) Your eyes and comments always welcome.

Thanks! I was in such a hurry to get myself there while the light was still good I didn't even read the trailhead info! The internet tells me 100 feet. I'll be going back there as it is close to home and I am looking forward to improving on my first attempt.

It's hard to see but it flows downhill by those big boulders. ;-)

Thanks John. Looking again this morning the first one looks a little blue to me...

In amateur astronomy it is called 'apertureitis'. The urge to get a slightly or massively bigger telescope to see just that little bit more. You can go one of two ways more lenses or more skill in finding the shot with the equipment you've got. Once you have found all of your equipment's potential is the time to go for the next bit of gear.

#2 for me.

Stunning colors and beautiful waterfall. I like the first one best if I had to choose (for the reason you mention... more included). Makes me wanna get out to some waterfalls this weekend .

That's the truth and exactly why I will return with current gear in hand :-). WHY didn't I take another shot on both sides of #2.?? I think that would make a nice merged pano. #1 is several shots merged in LR - something rather new for me. The carved rock opening that you are standing underneath creates a perfect shaped eye however one must scramble on a steep, smooth surface and get incredibly muddy to get that shot which I won't be doing. The guard rail here consists of one two x six stuck in the ground that peters out about half way around!

Thanks Sharon - no doubt you can find plenty in your neck of the woods. :-))
