I have a few photos that I have taken from almost the same spot on a stream in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountain Park in April.
Somehow I got up the nerve to stand out on a rock in the middle of the stream. I managed to get my tripod and camera up on the rock. My bag stayed on the side, nice and dry.
I set my lens to 50mm and my exposure to f/16 at 4.0 sec, and ISO 200. I knew I wanted the image to be clear from foreground to background.
I turned around and took a picture of the stream going away from me. The settings for the following picture were almost the same: 45mm, f/22 at 6.0, and ISO 200. Of course I used a polarizing filter for both of these shots.
The most spectacular scenery you can find up in the mountains is often not the mountain vistas. (That's a quote from me.)

Both are great shots, but I love the first one best. Can you say GREEN?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for commenting. Yes, bright green was the name of the game in late April in the Smokies. But it WAS stunning.
