Mill Creek Falls 2

Mill Creek Falls, Ansted, West Virginia. This is from mid-April, when Ruth Ann and I were able to spend some time in the New River Gorge with good friend Randy (Randall Sanger). I posted another photo of these falls shortly after it was taken, but I returned to those photos just today (alas, my backlog includes much more than June photos of classic cars) and did a bit of editing on this shot; looking at the earlier Mill Creek image and this one back to back, I concluded I prefer this one and decided to post it. I'm looking forward to fall with the fond hope of being able to photograph several more waterfalls. The day this was taken was too sunny to be ideal for shooting falls, but with the filter pack Randy recommended (8x ND plus polarizer), it wasn't bad -- and we had the bonus of really good flow at these falls. They are on Mill Creek, a short distance below Ansted, West Virginia, not far from Hawks Nest State Park (the road that passes above the creek is route 60/2, also known as Hawks Nest Road). This is another image that looks much better in the light box.
