Sequoyah Lake Dam. This was the last picture of the day. It is a man made waterfall created by the creation of a reservoir or lake for the local residences of Highland, North Carolina. The day for us was coming to an end and the light was right and its construction, leaving the rock formation at its base, made for a beautiful waterfall. Taken at 4:30PM on 10/13/2012 with a Nikon D600, and 24-70mm lens with a focal length of 27mm. Aperture at f/16, shutter speed was long at 2.0 seconds, and ISO at 100. I used a lower ISO to allow me to stop down the shutter speed to 2.0 seconds. Due to the high contrast I set the metering for matrix. Matrix metering is the Nikon terminology for hallowing the camera to average all the light and dark areas within a scene.
