Challenge: Free Study 2009-09 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Location: Watkins Glen State Park, NY
Date: Sep 18, 2009
Date Uploaded: Sep 19, 2009

 In NY for a wedding, had to kill some time and found this park. Searched DPC and saw that this location has been on here before. Lighting in the Gorge was difficult at best....BW conversion due to the blown out area beyond the bridge. Also didn't bring my tripod, so shooting 1/4 second was nearly impossible but ended up with a few sharp shots.

Expecting low 5's in the free study.

for the baghead in commenting....located in Watkins Glen State Park, NY

The whole park is about a 1.5 mile hike up the Gorge, this bridge marks the 1 mile point

taken at the same time as my entry in Deep DOF

Very nice treatment of Rainbow Falls in b&w. I had entered a similar shot last October FS, and also happened to be there the same Saturday you were.

This looks an awful lot like Watkins Glen....Very nice shot and great job capturing the person in the distance who appears to be taking a photo as well

Did you know that in Romanian, "cascador" (literal English translation: "cascader") means "stuntman," although "cascada" (cascade) means waterfall? I guess the stuntmen of yore were waterfall leapers. Poor guys... 9

I like this in B&W. Also like that wee photog over there to add a sense of scale.

I like the composition. A lower shutter speed (1 sec or even slower) would have given even more impact, i.m.o. It makes the water 'silky smooth' and creates atmosphere.
