Lower Falls

Taughannock Falls State Park

Generally when I drive to Ithaca to photograph the state parks, the first park I visit is Taughannock Falls. It is a great warm up park. What I mean by that is the trail is easy to walk, fairly short and the reward at the end is the majestic 215′ waterfall. But don’t make a beeline for the prize. Not 200′ from the parking area is Lower Falls. This is a beautiful, 20′ cascade falls and always my first image when I visit this park.

My intent was to go to Bellamy Harbor Park last night to catch the sunset. I did get to the park but I wasn’t awe struck by the scene. I might have captured a few good images, we’ll have to see what I find when I review the images.

I did find pass a cool looking scene as I was driving home. Due to the amount of rain we have had there are puddles of water everywhere. I passed this old factory (now the home of American Metal Stamping & Spinning) and the reflection of the sign immediately caught my eye. I turned the car at the very next left and found a parking spot across the street.

My tripod legs can be flattened, allowing me to get my camera almost on the ground.  With this configuration and placing everything next to the puddle allowed me to capture this great reflection.  I liked the portrait orientaion better due to being able to get the whole lamp post in scene.
