~ Falls on Garrett Branch, Towns Co. ~
My friend Sheldon and I came across these falls in Feb. 2019
while looking for some historical ruins from the CCC days.

~ Toccoa Falls, Stephens Co. ~
|
 |
For this tall waterfall, I preferred a faster shutter speed
|
 |
...over my usual slow shutter speed.
I think "bigger water" usually looks more powerful with a faster shutter.

~ Quarry Falls, Rabun Co. ~

This tall drop needs a good rainfall to look nice...

~ Sea Creek Falls, Fannin Co. ~

We were hunting for old structures, and I didn't have my tripod or boots with me. This
shot was the
best I could do, while standing barefoot in 12 inches of freezing water, with the camera handheld.
|
 |
Several months later, I was in the area again...
I still had no tripod with me, but climbed up on the rocks facing the falls and shot down.
|
~ Falls on Bryant Creek, Cooper Creek WMA ~
|
 |
I really liked this relatively unknown waterfall...
There was a mill here in the 1800s, but I didn't see any remains...
|
 |
Just the "main" part of the falls...

~ Falls on Snake Branch, White Co. ~
I was looking for an elusive Native American site, but didn't have any luck. Saw lots of cascades and small falls
in the creek drainage where I was exploring, but the lighting was horrible for shooting waterfalls. I didn't shoot
the two biggest falls I saw, due to the lighting and the fact that they were mostly enclosed in rhododendron.

Upper Falls on Snake Branch

~ Upper Falls on the Chattahoochee River ~
This is the first (most upstream) falls of any significance on the
Chattahoochee River. The bright sun made for terrible photos...

|
~ Second Falls on the Chattahoochee River ~
Once known as the Upper Falls on the Chattahoochee, prior to the Falls in the previous
images receiving wider awareness. Sometimes referred to as Slot Falls or Chute Falls.
|
 |
|
 |
The upper section of these falls drops through a slot, which is unusual in this area.
