Autumn At Blackwater Falls
After shooting with Mike Besant and Fred Wolfe on Saturday, October 12, I returned on my own the next day determined to find some sunshine. While the sun eventually came out, it clouded over again just as I began shooting the Blackwater Falls. I was very disappointed until it occurred to me that I might actually get a better shot without direct sunlight and was able to get the above shot with just a circular polarizing filter instead of one of my ND filters. I wasn't able to stay long as I knew sunset was approaching and I wanted to make it out to Lindy Point, so I took a few hurried brackets and then took off for the other side of the gorge. Although I shot brackets here, I ended up using a single frame in Nik Efex and ACR rather than HDR for this shot. Such a gorgeous park!
