Delaware Water Gap | Fall

Delaware Water Gap?  I could spend weeks there! It's such a huge, diverse park with endless photographic opportunities, it's awesome.

I didn't know that some leaves turn pink in the fall, go figure!

 

 

Dingman's Falls, which you have probably seen if you've watched my blog for a while!

So this shot has a pretty good story. This is Buttermilk Falls, which I've never been to. I got directions from another photographer off the internet, so we weren't sure if we'd even find it. It's on the New Jersey side of the park, about three miles on a rough stone/dirt road. The photographer I'd talked to said it was best to stand in the middle of the pond, but smart me didn't bring waterproof shoes. So I stripped off my shoes and socks, rolled up those pants and went in!

 

For your information, I still have all ten of my toes. :D It was incredibly cold (because it was the middle of October..), and I was in the water slightly past my ankles for about fifteen minutes. I kept walking from my tripod to these rocks where I was throwing some leaves on. I am extremely pleased with the end result, which is another super nifty HDR. I hope to come back to this falls next time with more time...and some waterproof shoes!

We found this guy in the parking lot by the river, he followed us around for quite some time and I happily shot away. I've never been this close to one of these guys! I'm not 100% sure if he's a turkey or black vulture.

Someone found some lunch!

I loved the contrast between the red and yellow in the shot on the left! Back to Geo W. Childs Park, these are all from Fulmer Falls.

 

The shot below Factory Falls.

Like I said, there is so much do that you can barely fit anything into a day trip, but we tried!
Hope you enjoyed and I would love to have some feedback! :)

Delaware Water Gap (Round II)

Wednesday brought on Delaware Water Gap! About a month ago I went on a day trip there with my Mom. (Pictures from that day are here!) It's a gorgeous place, fast becoming one of my favorite places to shoot! Unfortunately it was sunny, which makes shooting waterfalls rather hard. I think we all ended up with some good pictures anyways!

The photographer..caught on the prowl.

Gilly snapped this picture of me shooting the waterfall, I looove it!

This is the picture I was taking while she was busy snapping away at me.

One of my all-time favorite shots of Dingman's Falls!

On the trail to Raymondskills Falls, one I had personally never seen. It was gorgeous!

We stopped for some quick shots by the Delaware River.

That would be all my shots from the day! It was a lovely, a lot less laid back compared to our previous day in Philadelphia. I do have one more post coming for you though..the beach! I'm going to be away from this coming Monday until two Sundays from now, the first of August (camp, then a missions trip!). Hopefully I'll get some posts set up to post automatically..if not.. Have a wonderful two weeks!

Delaware Water Gap

A few weeks ago my Mom and I spent the afternoon at the Delaware Water Gap National Park.

Its got cool ruins, and a lot of waterfalls. The above and below shots are HDR's. Three images combined. I'm only just starting to dabble in HDR photography, but I really like the natural images it produces.

This is Fulmer Falls, it's so pretty.

Dingman's Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in PA.

Last, Silver Thread Falls. Delaware Water Gap is a really neat park, - and we didn't even see all the falls in the area! I'm hoping to go back soon. For now, adios!
