Description

Shawnee Waterfall is one of my favorite sites in Ricketts Glen. Shawnee is located directly above the Huron waterfall, near the top of Glen Leigh in Ricketts Glen State Park. Like Huron, there has always been this fallen tree wedged against the face of the waterfall, for as long as I can remember (and that's a very long time).

This shot was captured from below the falls, on the near side of Kitchen Creek. This shows the boulder pile where I stood to have my current profile avatar photo taken by Mark Van Scyoc.

Ricketts Glen is a very popular State Park, located in the north eastern region of Pennsylvania, USA. The nearest community to the park is Red Rock, situated at the junction state routes RT-118 and RT-487.

This photo was taken on August 16th, 2013 with a Canon EOS 5D DSLR body, fitted with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L Zoom lens at the 25mm focal length. The shutter speed was 2.5 seconds at f/9, ISO 100 in RAW format. An ND-8 Neutral Density filter was used on the lens while the camera was mounted on a Manfrotto heavy duty tripod. A remote shutter release cable was used. This photo is presented "as-is", no enhancements, except for a slight leveling adjustment.

Your comments are always welcome! Constructive criticism is appreciated.
