The Lost Valley is a veritable wonderland full of potential shots. This is true of most of this region in Arkansas. Northwest Arkansas is worth a visit (many visits). I actually just love to hike. Whatever trail or area I've recently visited becomes my favorite place is state. I'm always in awe at natural beauty.

I love the Lost Valley. The drive there as well as the trail itself are amazing. I didn't take a wide angle lens with me the first trip to the Lost Valley. I don't have ND filters for it yet, and I reasoned it was probably too bright to shoot waterfalls without an ND. Luckily I decided to take it with me the second trip. I ended up making it down to the waterfall near sunset. The light was just low enough to shoot the above with only a polarizer.

This is Lower Eden Falls which is part of the Lost Valley in Northwest Arkansas. It's in the Buffalo River region, which in my opinion is the prettiest part of the state. This was taken about 30 minutes before sunset. I always have trouble getting color balance right on waterfall shots taken right after sunrise or before sunset. I finally did get this one fixed, but ended up converting it to black and white anyway.
