Description
This is what you could see when you begin your day at the Onongaga Waterfall in October. This was my first photo on a chilly autumn morning, with heavy clouds drifting overhead.
I had actually gotten up really early to try to see the lunar eclipse and rare "Blood Moon" on October 8th. Cloudy skies made my view of the eclipse a bit of a disappointment. So... I decided to head out to Ricketts Glen. I saw that a lot of rain had fallen during the night and dryer weather was heading our way. Water levels in the area had been quite low. I had been waiting for a good rain before making my annual autumn trek to the Glen. It looked like this might be the perfect opportunity to get some nice autumn waterfall photos.
This photo was captured from the steep hillside across from the falls, above the Glen Leigh hiking trail. Onondaga Falls is located at the top of the Glen Leigh gorge, near the junction with the Highland trail.
This photograph was shot on Wednesday, October 8th, 2014, on a solo autumn hike through Ricketts Glen. The photo was taken with a Canon EOS 5D camera through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, at the 35mm focal length. The exposure was 0.6 seconds at f/10, ISO 100. A 77mm ND-4 Neutral Density filter was used 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.
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.
