Description
Lots of New Years Eve ice forming in the waters of Kitchen Creek, below the Murray Reynolds waterfall.
The image was captured with a Canon 5D Full Frame camera using a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, at the 40mm focal length. A ND-4 Neutral Density filter was mounted on the lens. The photo was shot @ f/11, with a shutter speed of 1/10th of a second, ISO 100. The camera was mounted on a Manfrotto tripod, with a Manfrotto 222 Pistol Grip head. A remote shutter release cable was also used.
This series of Ricketts Glen waterfall photographs were all captured in the morning of December 31st, 2012, during an 8 hour winter hike & shoot with photographer Mark Van Scyoc.
Ricketts Glen State Park is located near the small rural village of Red Rock, PA, at the junction of Pennsylvania State Routes 118 and 487. The park is about midway between Williamsport and Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania, in the north eastern region of the USA. Murray Reynolds waterfall is the first major landmark you will see when you hike into the park's wilderness area on the lower trail from RT-118.
WARNING: Ricketts Glen waterfall trails are extremely dangerous in the winter months! They are closed to the public from late November unit spring. Winter hiking is only permitted if you are a well-equipped hiker with previous icy condition hiking or climbing experience. Each climber must register and sign in before entering the trails and must also sign out after the hike. Crampons, Ice axes and climbing ropes are absolutely required. This is NOT just a "walk in the park".
Your comments are always welcome! Constructive criticism is appreciated.

love the framing and color...boy does that curve of snow in the upper right ever help the flow of the image
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very kindly, Henry! The photo was cropped a bit, but I was careful to keep that "swoosh" of snow within the frame. Best wishes, Gene
