~ 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.

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 here, 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...

Falls on a tributary of the upper Chattahoochee River, on the N side of Coon Den Ridge.

~ 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.
