Kevin Adams, who leads mountain tours to photograph waterfalls, has updated the third edition of his North Carolina Waterfalls with information about 400 new waterfalls in addition to more than 600 previously reviewed.
His listings showcase gorgeous color photos of waterfalls with tips on how best to capture their beauty on film. A new feature is the GPS coordinates and updated information on how to find each waterfall, many of which are hidden away unknown to the general public.
Adams was inspired to write the first edition of North Carolina Waterfalls in 1994 after talking to his family about the need for such a book since the information did not exist anywhere else. The second edition was updated in 2005 when he discovered how much misinformation was online.
Now with 65,000 of the second edition sold, Adams agreed to update the book again with more information and more beautiful color photographs of waterfalls, which are accessible for North Carolinians as well as visitors.
Adams, who has taught nature photography for more than 25 years, leads North Carolina mountain tours to photograph waterfalls. He edits a free newsletter, Night Photography News, and a blog, Digital After Dark. He lives in the mountains with wife Patricia, two cats and 13 chickens named after the women in Star Trek.
