Description

R. B. Ricketts falls is one of the most beautiful sites in this amazing protected wilderness area know as Ricketts Glen. The sky was crystal clear and the deepest blue ever. New spring leaves were just starting to show on the surrounding trees, with that bright green color that is reserved for this time of the year.

Ricketts Glen State Park is located beside the junction of RT-118 and RT 487 in Fairmount Township, Pennsylvania, USA. The nearest town is Red Rock, about half way between the cities of Williamsport and Wilkes Barre, PA.

R. B. Ricketts Falls is the third named waterfall above the Waters Meet point, on the Glen Leigh Trail.

This image was shot with a Canon 10D DSLR, through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, at the widest focal length of 17mm. A ND4 neutral density filter was stacked on the lens, with a circular polarizing filter in front. The aperture was set to f/19. Three bracketed exposures were shot with an average shutter speed of 1/2 second at ISO 100.

The three RAW exposures were carefully processed in Photomatix Pro 4 to produce this HDR image.
