Description

I have been longing to return to Bushkill Falls since last year. I visited there for the first time without coming home with captures of the Main Falls that I was satisfied with.

That said, I did score acceptable images of the Bushkill Creek, and three other waterfalls that are found up on the Red Trail (@ 2 hour hike).

I arrived right when the gates opened at 9am, therefore not having to contend with too many people. This in turn afforded me the opportunity to take my time to compose each image, this being the second one shot from the Yellow Trail.

It's always amazing how the light, shadows, etc changes simply by moving from one area to the next. With this, the third perspective, I wanted to incorporate the railing (that is an integral part of Bushkill Falls) as interesting foreground material, which also helped in framing this capture.

Also, the skies were still mostly cloudy which translated into soft and even light and long exposures (with the help of my variable neutral density filter).
