Gorge-ous
Chittenango Falls State Park
I decided a wider view to include more of the gorge was called for to highlight the changing colors of the leaves. My typical focus only on the waterfall would have left a lot of the color out of the picture. I also like that this view makes the 167′ waterfall feel small in comparison to the the walls of the gorge.

Autumn Colors and the Light
Bellamy Harbor Park
After spending over six hours in the car and almost six hours at Letchworth State Park on Thursday, the draw of the light shining on Bellamy Harbor Park as I drove into Rome was too great. The view from the bridge immediately drew my attention and I barely gave it a second thought as I drove over to the park. There is something hypnotic about a front lit scene with a darker sky that fascinates me. I didn’t explore beyond the view from across the harbor but The yellow trees against the darker blue tinted clouds was a winner for me…

Autumn Swirl
Chittenango Falls State Park
It was another questionable day for the weather. Clouds came and went, the sun making itself known throughout and rain, if only a quick sprinkle, ever possible. Still, it was worth a trip to Chittenango Falls State Park. I wasn’t positive if the trees lining the gorge had fully turned to their autumn pallet, but considering how close the park is, it was worth the drive. There was definitely the start of the colors I seek and I’m guessing by next weekend it will be the full blown pallet.
My favorite section of the creek above the main waterfall held more color and I spent quite a lot of time exploring the possible views. I really liked this section which allowed my to fill the background with color while capturing the swirling bubbles below the small ledge waterfall. Capturing the right image involves a lot of patience. It is easy to get the right exposure, timing the pattern of bubbles can be frustrating. This one was probably my sixth or seventh setup of the tripod and the third change of exposure to get the swirl the way I wanted it.
