I had the opportunity to go shooting with Richard Bernabe, dude was super cool. He is very knowledgeable of the Great Smokey Mountains, all the photo opps there, and photography in general! He is very willing to share his knowledge and he has a lot to share. I would defiantly go on another trip with Richard.On the weekend we were shooting day one was perfect couldn't ask for a better day. Day two on the other hand was packed slap full of rain. Even with all the rain we still managed to get some great shots. With so much water in the creeks the falls we visited were really running strong.
While out we visited the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. Above is one of my favorite shots from the trip, it was taken in the Little Santeelah Creek. I have to tell you that was some mighty cold water though! While on the creek we found several spots that made for some cool shots.
Wondering though the forest there you find your self in awe of the huge Poplar trees. They are several of these trees that it would take more than 5 guys to reach all the way around! It is a site worth seeing.
