Rickets Glen SP, PA

Hi Bill,

 

beautifully photographed with excellent control of light. I really like the unusual composition and the way you have captured the water almost as a veil. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Vincent, thank you so much for your kind words. This was shot on film quite a few years ago, with no idea what the shutter speed was, but I'm guessing maybe 4-to-6 seconds for that much blur. I have tried going back to Rickets Glen in recent years, but couldn't handle the falls trails, too much for this old beat-up body.

Hi Bill. I echo Oiseau's comments. Nice composition, lighting, and longer exposure to get the veiled look of the waterfall as well as the details of the rock wall all without losing the trees at the top.

Yep, exposing well for a waterfall can be really challenging, with the white water surrounded often by dark vegetation. This must have been a lucky day for me. Thanks again Mick for your comments, Bill
