Ruby Falls Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Ruby falls is located in Chattanooga in Tennessee Valley. Its height is about 150 feet and the sweet part is it is completely hidden inside a 2000 feet mountain. to get there we should use a 2 mile tunnel and its gorgeous in the colorful light. This was accidentally discovered while drilling the mountain for a different reason. The guide and the timing is specially trained to give us very less time. after 2 miles of walk, we will enter a dark place with only the falls sound. few seconds later, a grand music begin and colorful light flashes for about less than 1 minute. In this time I should take this picture. By the time we realize the beauty of this place, its all over.

Indeed a wonderful place! The photo is a little blurry but in this case it is not too bad!

Maybe you shoud have used a tripod!?

Well done. Considering you weren't using a tripod, the photo turned out quite well. I like the deep blue color along with the shadows. The location seems almost surreal.

I wish I knew how you got such a great shot of the falls. I did my best, but simply couldn't get it right. This looks very good and very accurate of how beautiful the falls can be.

Hey Rajesh, great photo I love the colours and how the water seems like light pouring through!

however the very small filesize, (you can use 200kb!) and the grain make the effect a little less amazing. You can also use 800pixels height and width so next time you shoudl take advantage!

I see from looking at your other photos that you rarely use the full allotment of 200kb you are allowed. Do you know how to changethe wuality settings in your image editor? Your photos woudl benefit so much if you improved the image quality before you save them!

Out of : ) for today, ill be back tomorrow!
