Elekala Falls #2, Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia

Just got back yesterday from an enjoyable overnight backpacking trip to the Roaring Plains in West Virginia. I charged most of my camera batteries on the way there, and upon packing up the last of my camera gear at the trailhead, managed to grab two batteries that had basically zero charge. Needless to say, I wasn’t too excited when sunset rolled around on top of a remote overlook! Luckily, the light fizzled and I didn’t miss much of an opportunity. In an effort to make the most of the trip, I also made a quick trip over to Blackwater Falls State Park to photograph some of my favorite waterfalls in the area. The streams were running relatively high for this time of year, and I took advantage of the flow to capture this unique foreground log with water running over it.

    Too bad about the batteries, Chris, but sometimes it’s nice to just observe.

    And you swell shot of the falls, anyway!

    God bless you,

    Paul

    Chris, I love your photos, they really show the best of any given area or scene. I didn’t see it, and maybe I missed you talking about it, but what camera do you use? I am currently looking to upgrade myself to another camera, and I am looking at the 7D Canon, can you give me some insight – thanks Kevin
