The Fall(s) in the fall

Fall season seems to be one of the best seasons to shoot waterfalls. The overcast days, just the right level of water, moderate temperatures that allow you to enjoy the hike up, the colors and leaves – all work in synergy. This week shot is from the Fairy falls from a late evening. The circular polarizer helped enhance the green & yellows, while the ND Filter helped capture the silky smooth water & the textures from the ferns and rocks.

    Excellent ptoohs – I'm glad that some families take full advantage of all that Fall has to offer, I tend to let it creep up on me and sneak on past and then wish that I had taken the time to enjoy it.
