One of my best strategies for doing bird and wildlife photography is to take my camera for a ride. I found this opossum eating rotting apples out of a tiny tree along a back country road. I pulled over and photographed him at nearly point blank range for fifteen minutes. He was worried at first, but quickly realized that I was less dangerous than the apples were delicious. The light faded; I left him to his dinner and drove home for mine.
I wanted to create a photograph in Ricketts Glen State Park that captured the essence of what it is like to hike the Falls Trail. I think this one fits the bill. The trail follows along Kitchen Creek and affords views of approaching waterfalls one after another. 21 in all.
On a hike up Glen Leigh in Ricketts Glen State Park, I spotted this interesting cascade. I got down very low in the stream and using a wide angle lens, captured this perspective. I love the white lines shooting out on the sides like lightning.
