Dry Falls, Highlands N.C.
Dry Falls gets its name from the fact that you can walk behind the waterfall and stay relatively dry, thanks to the large overhanging cliff the waterfall plunges from. It’s a very unique and awe inspiring experience to walk behind the falls when the flow is high.
On the day I took this photo in November of 2016 we were in the middle of a severe drought, which allowed me to climb down onto the rocks in the mini gorge below the falls (which are normally completed submerged). This gave me the rare opportunity to get a unique shooting perspective that shows off the beautiful converging lines of the rocks that line the gorge.
It’s my favorite black and white waterfall photo and we have a 20 x 30 metal print of it hanging in our bedroom that is stunning. If you like the look of metal I highly recommend it for this image!

About Print Types
Fine Art Prints:
Fine Art Prints are printed on museum-grade, acid free, 100% cotton papers that have a beautiful organic texture to them. With an extra smooth, subtle matte surface that displays vibrant color rendition, this paper is a wonderful choice for high-contrast, colorful images. Fine Art Prints and Fuji Pearl Prints have a 1 inch white border surrounding the image that includes the total print size (to prevent cropping of the image when framing), and are pre-mounted on a sturdy 3mm styrene backing. They are ready to take to your local frame shop for placement in the frame of your choice.
Fuji Pearl Prints:
Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl Paper has a glossy, metallic surface with a distinctive pearl-like appearance. This paper is treated with a mixture of light-sensitive silver crystals, giving it a unique glow and luster. Pearl paper really brings out the glow and saturation in color photographs. It’s also a great choice for black and white images, as it adds a magical, silvery sheen to them. Fine Art Prints and Fuji Pearl Prints have a 1 inch white border surrounding the image that includes the total print size (to prevent cropping of the image when framing), and are pre-mounted on a sturdy 3mm styrene backing. They are ready to take to your local frame shop for placement in the frame of your choice.
Canvas Prints:
Canvas prints are printed on archival, museum grade 100% pure cotton canvas material. A subtle, protective lamination coat seals the final canvas print, maintaining the soft texture while ensuring durability and scratch resistance. Each canvas print is carefully stretched and mounted on a wooden frame and is ready to hang with a wire hanger.
Metal Prints:
Aluminum prints start with a white base coat applied to a sheet of brushed aluminum, creating a platform that increases depth and contrast, with radiant colors and bright whites, similar to the backlit effect of viewing images on a computer screen. An inset metal frame is attached to the back of each metal print with a traditional wire hanger, ensuring it is ready to hang. The finished piece has a scratch resistant finish that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Acrylic Prints:
Acrylic Prints are produced by first printing the image onto a sheet of museum grade, archival fine art paper. The print is then applied to a sturdy backing material and a 1/4 inch piece of crystal clear acrylic is mounted on the front of the image. Acrylic prints have a glossy, glass-like reflective finish that enhances colors and adds an almost 3D sense of depth to an image. Acrylic prints are very durable and scratch resistant. Each finished acrylic print is backed with an inset metal frame with a wire hanger installed.
