Took a ride, here's some pics!

[the_Journeyman]

Pics from today's ride, NC215 and the Blue Ridge Parkway.  All pics are from NC215.  I was told I'll lose my Holly-riding privileges (Holly is my wife's bike) if I continue to scrape parts in the corners 

Lake Logan, privately owned and full of trophy-sized trout.


Reflection right on the side of the road, as in two feet right of the white line and you're going swimming.


Tiny waterfall beside the really big one


Part of the bigger one, you can't see the majority of the water, the sun made shooting this fall difficult.


Another angle of the same fall


Still another


And another


A zoomed shot if the one above


Looking off the opposite of the bridge that goes over the falls


Further up, there is another set of falls right beside the road


Holly at the same falls above


Hope you enjoyed!

I used a tripod + long exposure.  All the pics were taken with anywhere from a 1/10th a second to a bit over a full second exposure.  Tripod required.

I had to, most of those exposures were too long to hold, see above.  I have a very well used Nikon D70.  The lenses are my old lenses from my 35mm N65 Nikon so the focal lengths are off a bit.

All the above shots were shot with the 42" retractable tripod.  I used the other one on my Honeymoon for great results without having to get a random stranger to take the pic.  PM me if you need more info on the tripods or technique.  It's really simple to get the water to blur if you have a tripod ~
