Description One (or three?) of the many waterfalls located at Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania.

I overexposed many of my waterfall shots that day - but this one just "worked" as-is with no need for adjustment.

This waterfall is Tuscarora Falls

Thank you! I have been working for a long time at getting decent water shots. I still don't have the filters and stuff that the pro's use, but my challenge is to do it as well as I can without any extras.

I'll check it out, and thanks! I live fairly near 11/15 north of Harrisburg, so getting to it would be a hop, skip, and a jump. Is that a state park?

Thank you! I started out practicing on local creeks -

trying to figure out how to get that 'glassy' look in moving water... those shots were taken in 2006 - this is the first time I've been to waterfalls since then - so the first chance I've had to try capturing them...

I am sure there are a few... my gallery has grown so large it's hard to find things. we could search the gallery for "creek" and get all powells creek as well as rattling creek shots.

Thank you! I appreciate it. This was probably one of my best shots of the day that day - and that was the first time I'd really done waterfall shots this way ....

1/3 second... I was pushing the limit - too much - on some shots and ended up overexposing the backgrounds.. this one was about right...
