Hopewell Furnace (Continued)

Upon touring Hopewell, I came across a small creek. The fall leaves were full of color and beckoning to be photographed. After taking a few water flowing images, I noticed the water reflection and of course, had to capture it.

This image was set at f/16 @ 1/2 second at ISO 100, with my camera mounted on a tripod.

Happy light!

Fall Colors

Here is another image from my field trip to Hopewell Furnace. Although there was a gusty wind blowing pretty fierce, I managed to capture this image of yellow fall leaves against a fence with very little movement. The fall colors will soon disappear! Soon, there will be colder temperatures and snow on the ground.

The exposure was f/19 with the shutter @ 1/2 second, ISO 100.

Hopewell Furnace

Yesterday, I visited Hopewell Furnace, National Historic site. Although it was very windy, the air temperature was mild. Hopewell Furnace was built in 1771 by Mark Bird. Today, the park is kept up by te National Park Service. You can take the self-guided tour Wednesday thru Sunday. There is a small fee ($4 for adults) to tour the village of unique, historic buildings, but there are indeed many photo opportunities. (A small price to pay either way!) Be sure to capture the Ironmaster's Mansion, the Molten Iron Cast House, Blacksmith shop, and other areas of the park. Attached is one of my photos taken of the row of houses where the employees stayed. The blacksmith shop is the first building.

Adam's Falls

Here is another image from Ricketts Glen. I liked the manner in which the water was flowing so I took a few shots. If you listen closely, you can almost hear the rushing water running down into the water hole!

The metadata for this image was f/19 @ ISO 100, six second exposure.

Ricketts Glen

Here is another image from Red Mountain. We had the opportunity to photograph Adam's Falls at Ricketts Glen. This image was taken at the falls, although there is no water in the shot. I was attracted to the green moss and trees and took a shot. Sometimes you can find photo opportunities without looking very far! Enjoy your week and happy light!

Lake Jean @ Red Rock Mountain

This past weekend, my friend, Beth, her family, and I spent some time at Red Rock Mountain in PA. We were surprised to see mountain snow (about 4 inches) at her in-law's cabin, which was our residence for four days and three nights. Red Rock stands at an elevation of 2,449 feet! Despite the snow, Beth and I visited a few nearby attractions to capture the beauty of nature. Lake Jean was one of these places we chose to photograph. We stopped there on Friday, as well as today. As you can see, it didn't take long for the snow to melt.

Another image from Newlin Grist Mill

Here is another image that I photographed at the Newlin Grist Mill. I used the tree branch as a lead-in, and took a few shots. I preferred the horizontal shot! Just a short post today! Have a great week!
