Lower Dunloup Creek Falls In October

This shot was taken near the end of our day shooting along the New River Gorge area in West Virginia. After our morning shoot at Babcock, Mike Besant and I followed Fred Wolfe who was our trusty guide through all of the roads and goat paths that wound around the hills surrounding the gorge. I quickly lost all sense of direction, but I do recall that right after we shot this particular set of falls we drove about another 5 minutes and came to a town called Thurmond, which was an old mining town that looked as if no one had disturbed it for the past 80 years or so.

 

Mike and I both were amazed at the way Fred scampered easily down steep hillsides covered in wet leaves while we picked out way down holding on to branches and roots even though Fred had a good 20 years on either of us. We both had the distinct impression that we were slowing him down quite a bit. But thanks to Fred, we had a GREAT day of shooting some amazing scenes that we would never have found on our own. SO glad that I left Round Hill Virginia to shoot in this area as it was POURING back there while the three of us were shooting in one of the most gorgeous areas East of the Mississippi. If you've never been to the New River Gorge in West Virginia in Autumn, you definitely might to consider adding it to your list.
