Description Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Sometimes you just have to plunge in. I was standing in water several inches over my waist to get this angle...much better than on the dry, warm shore!

I love the Smokies so much. It's always fun to go swimming in the rivers when it's blistering hot during the summer.

Amazing, perfect! Did you use any filters or a polarizer?

juddpatterson In reply to oO-Rein-Oo [2009-01-07 04:58:59 +0000 UTC]

I did use a circular polarizer here to cut through the reflections.

With the look of the water, a quote from a book/movie comes to mind. "If you want him, come and claim him!" Once again, an amazing capture and your desire/ability to do what it takes to get "THE" shot floors me. I would love to go out hiking with you. I could imagine I would sleep for days after just to recover.

Judd, that is so awesome Do you do something other than photography M-F? Or are you tied up in a studio? Sorry for all the questions, just curious, if you are too busy to reply I will understand

juddpatterson In reply to bigpaganjames [2009-01-07 06:23:32 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I work the National Park Service M-F...but it's mainly an indoor job working at the computer. I go nuts each weekend and drag myself in the door on Monday morning.
