4-24 Keefe Falls

Down the road from Six Finger Falls a little ways is the trail head for Keefe Falls. The trail is pretty easy, a horse trail most of the way.

I just love a stream running through the woods. (1/15 sec, f-3.5, ISO800)

It's a bit of a scramble once you get close to the falls. Daniel had wet shoes, so he sloshed through the creek, but I was trying to keep mine dry. I got a shot of the falls as it hides behind the foliage. (1/5 sec, f-18, ISO800)

A shot of the stream as it runs away from the base of the falls. (0.6 sec, f-22, ISO800)

This one has a bit more of the waterfall in it. (0.6 sec, f-22, ISO800)

Sometimes branches in the way are can be distracting. Sometimes they can frame your subject. (1/8 sec, f-3.5, ISO200)

Keefe is running good! (1/6 sec, f-3.5, ISO200)

There is another drainage that joins this one just above here. I have seen that there is another waterfall up there called, wait for it, "The Other Keefe Falls" (1/15 sec, f-3.5, ISO800)

Sometimes I like to get a closeup of the water as it plays around the rocks. (1/20 sec, f-3.5, ISO800)

The beauty of digital is you don't have to change film when you want to change ISO's, or like in this case, when you want to shoot black and white. The conversion in Photoshop is a simple one. (1/20 sec, f-3.5, ISO800)

I am so glad we decided to head to the Fallingwater Creek area after we left Pam's Grotto. There were some unexpected surprises! It was getting dark, so we headed to Atkins. Once we got back in cell phone range, Daniel just had to call Bobbob to tell him about not getting to see Fuzzybutt! He was a tired puppy, though, and slept all the way home. Another successful day of waterfall hunting!
