My First Nature Photograph

There is nothing that is more inspiring than a beautifully composed Nature Photograph.  I primarily photograph nature and landscape subjects but I also tend to be drawn to old structures like barns, covered bridges and old stores that have somehow withstood the test of time.  I started out years ago merely taking pictures to document a vacation or weekend get away in the mountains.  Then while on a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains, I was trying to capture a really great picture of the Little River.  I went so far as to risk injury by climbing across some rocks to get out in the water more.  I snapped the shutter on my camera and when I returned home and put the image up on my computer monitor I new I had something special.  Turned out it was my first marketable picture.
