Description: Guide to Photography Series: Cascades and Waterfalls
Location: Rocky Fork State Park
Rocky Fork’s shaded hollows and tumbling creeks offer the perfect canvas for capturing the motion and magic of water. This beginner-friendly workshop introduces participants to the art of long exposure photography, where flowing streams become silky ribbons of light and forest reflections come alive.
We will begin with a short indoor session at the ranger station to cover camera settings, light conditions, composition, and safety. Then we will head into the field for a slow-paced creek-side hike to photograph cascades and waterfalls using your DSLR, mirrorless camera, or smartphone.
Whether you are new to manual settings or want to refine your outdoor shooting skills, this workshop will help you see water and your camera in a whole new way.
