Carter Caves Hidden Waterfalls

I have to say this is one of the few places I miss from the WV/KY area. This place is one of my families favorite day trip getaways. This cascade waterfalls at Carter Caves is really a hidden place stuffed behind some trees and 2 creeks. The only way to get there is to cross the cold creek water. During the hot weather the cool stream waters are a welcome place to wade and cool off. In the backwaters my wife and children have claimed at least one injury a piece from the slippery rocks and fast running water.

In the mouth of the cave itself, which is where this image was shot the water is only a few inches deep and we all enjoy climbing up the cascade to the top and looking at the natural spring that feeds this waterfall. it does get pretty tight up there though. Yea the area is mildly dangerous but a fun place for the family and a place to make memories to last a lifetime.

The shoot itself was very tricky. with the naked eye and with a normal exposure time and no filters the cavern is pitch black to the camera sensor. on this shoot I had to use two ND filters and one polarizing lens and a long exposure. Voila and here you have it. I enjoyed this shoot as well as spending time with my family. The cave itself lends itself to the fine art photography. This photograph was one of my first attempts at long exposures.
