How I Got This Shot: I found the brightest leaves and position by tripod downstream a bit. Luckily, clouds covered the sun for more even lighting. Since it’s a short hike from the Parkway parking area, Lower Falls is a great waterfall to visit often. You can safely reach the base and no life-threatening heroics are necessary to capture beautiful images.
