Anyone that views my posts will notice that I’m a sucker for smooth waterfall photos. Anytime I see flowing water, I want to break out a tripod, screw an ND filter on my lens and slow that shutter speed way down. It may be cliche, it may be done to death, but a well composed waterfall shot with creamy water is just so tranquil and pleasing to look at. Below are my favorites that I’ve taken (no promises on the ‘well composed’ part) broken down by location.
This has to start of course with my favorite local hiking place, Ohiopyle State Park. I go there often since it’s a short distance away and offers so much variety. Between the colors in Autumn, the freeze in Winter, the flooding in Spring and the complete foliage in Summer, it always a bit different every time I go. First we have Ohiopyle in the Winter, since that is what we are experiencing now.
It has been a busy month for my family and I. The holidays were crazy as usual, I got sick for a solid week and just everything else has transpired to give me no free time to do any photography. The weather has been not too great either, so I haven’t had much motivation to take a camera outside. I did however, recently acquire a new laptop, so I went back through my large image library and keyword tag things a bit better and just touch up some older photo’s that I’ve mostly forgotten about.
This is a set that I took back in 2010 around the Blackwater Falls State Park and Seneca Rocks area. It’s a pretty good drive from my house, so it’s not an area that I can get too often, although I would love to go back again. With the new faster laptop, I decided to re-process these pictures to get them looking better. Below are my favorites.
