Description
Delaware Falls is usually a very complex set of multiple spillways, with an interesting little island in the gushing plunge pool. However, that's when the water levels are much higher than they have been during this prolonged dry spell. On this very warm October afternoon, there was only one small veil of falling water with practically no pool to define the island.
On the other hand, this prompted me to take a much wider view of the beautiful landscape that surround the falls. Obviously, the lack of rain has had no negative effect on the foliage in this shaded gorge.
Delaware Falls in located between the Seneca and Mohican waterfalls, on the Ganoga Glen Trail, in Ricketts Glen State Park. From this spot, Seneca Falls can be seen, off in the distance.
This photograph was captured on Monday, October 4th, 2013, on a solo autumn hike through Ricketts Glen. The shot was captured with a Canon EOS 5D camera through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, at the 17mm focal length. The shutter speed was 1.6 seconds at f/16, ISO 100. A 77mm ND-8 Neutral Density filter was mounted on the lens. The camera was securely mounted on a Manfrotto 055CLB tripod with a Manfrotto 222 Pistol Grip head. A remote shutter release cable was also used.
This photohraph is presented "as-is", just as the camera capture the scene, with no post production or embellishments.
Ricketts Glen State Park is located at the junction of RT-118 and RT 487 in Fairmount Township, Pennsylvania, USA. The nearest town is Red Rock, PA, about half way between Williamsport and Wilkes Barre, PA.
