I got a book about hiking waterfalls in TN this past summer. Just now getting around to visiting the first one on the list, Jackson Falls located on the Natchez Trace Parkway.

I'm still new to taking pictures and I don't really know anything about Lightroom or any of that stuff so these are jpg pretty much straight from the camera, a Sony RX100 mk2.

Some are lightened or darkened a bit in the basic photo editing program I view my pictures in. One of them I fooled with the "warmth" slider a bit. I have learned enough to use the full manual mode in some of these and take a long(ish) exposure of the falling water that I think came out pretty good.

May not look like much bout you could hear the falling water from the parking lot. I'd like to come back after we've had a lot of rain.

The water slides down a steep rocky slope seen in the upper right hand corner.

I used a $7 tabletop tripod & 2 second shutter delay to hold the camera steady for this one.

The creek empties into the Duck River about 1/4 mile off in the distance.

This was a neat little trip. It's steep coming back up the sidewalk but not too bad. I'm way out of shape and made it up fine.
