There are a lot of waterfalls in Tennessee, more than 500. I shared a phone photo last week of Burgess Falls, near Cookeville. This photo using my camera and a longer lens is a view of a portion of the falls, captured at 1/800 second.

I noticed that there was green under the water, a shrub or even a tree. Most of the year, this portion of the precipice is not covered with water. But this day, it was underwater. I took a series of photos, experimenting with what happens when the time of the exposure is lengthened. The photo below was shot at 1/8 of a second.

I admit that most of the time I am drawn to the blurred water. I realize some viewers are not. The top photo emphasizes the water while the lower photo draws attention to what is underneath, I think. There is power in the upper photo, poetry in the lower. I enjoy both views.
