~Twin Falls With an Added Touch~
~ Twin Falls ~
Trail head at Camp Orr in the Buffalo River Wilderness, Arkansas Usa.
The beautiful picturesque Twin Falls now has an added beauty right beside it due to all the rain we have had in the last month.
Shot this photo in the pouring rain, using my uni pod, and with my camera on auto, and of course the umbrella was a must! LOL!
It was quite the challenge steadying the camera, juggling the umbrella, all the while with the lightning flashing, and the forest canape swirling in the strong winds of the storm, which caused tornadoes in many surrounding areas.
By the time I finished this shoot I was soaked to the bone, but this shot and the many others I shot were all worth every moment. BUT MY CAMERA REMAINED DRY!!!!!!
I am real happy with the silky water, as I have no means to set my camera for timed shots.

Byron, after taking this, and the days outing, I returned home to hear about the storms that hit you there. I was out in the storms that was hitting us here….Does this mean you have electric? I sure hope so!!!
barnsis
Yes we got it back yesterday, turns out we are on the main three phase line that services the area her so we were lucky, they had to get our fixed before they could fix all the branch lines.

Great capture especially under the nasty weather conditions.. what we artists do. To get my falls I had to standon the shoulder of the highway and my hubby protected me from the heavy mist stirred up by the semis that tore past. I was safe from traffic, it was just the spray that was getting me wet.

You would never, ever know, from the looks of that photo, that it was taken in the pouring rain, under an umbrella, with a photographer having to go through those crazy conditions to get the shot! Bravo on your efforts, because they paid off!
