Behind The Lens

Location

This was shot at Taughannock Falls State Park in Trumansburg Ny, just outside of Ithaca Ny. This is the parks main attraction, a 215 ft waterfall with the same name as the park, Taughannock Falls.

Time

This was taken in the afternoon sometime I believe.

Lighting

It was a somewhat cloudy day, if it was sunny the sunlight would have over powered the fall colors.

Equipment

This was shot with the Nikon D7000 and the Tamron SP AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 VC lens. A Singh-Ray vari-n-duo filter was used tfor a longer exposure to slow the water. Shot on a Vanguard Alta Pro aluminum tripod.

Inspiration

Fall is my favorite season to shoot, although short, and waterfalls and fall colors compliment each other very nicely.

Editing

The only PP done is added contrast, vibrance/saturation, and sharpening. Not much really needed to be done.

In my camera bag

Now I shoot with a Nikon D610, Sigma 24-105 f4, and Rokinon 14mm 2.8. I also have the Nikon 300mm f4D.

Feedback

Taughannock falls is great any time of the year but fall is when it really shines.
