Secret Falls - a photo on Flickriver

Secret Falls

            Visited Secret Falls for the second time this week.  While I like this shot, it took a long time to get given the partly cloudy skies.  I had to wait repeatedly for clouds to block out the sun on the falls but then the clouds passed too quickly to get the exposures I was looking for.  But just in the nick of time a larger cloud passed over allowing me to get what I needed.

I was ready to take another shot when I learned the "secret" was out.  Numerous families descended on the falls and took it over.  I fully realize they have every right to enjoy the falls as much as I do.  My irritation comes when I have my camera on my tripod clearly ready to take a shot and they all just walk in front of me without so much as an "excuse me" or "is it ok" just to be courteous.

Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome.
