Elemental

Elemental :: MA / NY

This shot was taken at Bash Bish Falls on the Massachusetts / New York border. It’s a shot that has eluded me for years. I’ve always had a difficult time coming up with a good composition here, and the strong spray has historically made many of the shots I wanted to try difficult.

The water flow is light right now, though, which opened up a few possibilities this visit that I hadn’t had before. The sun beam peaking through the gap in the rocks at the top of the falls was a nice, atmospheric bonus. 🙂

  Thanks so much! I actually thought I’d get there too late to catch any good light, but the rock walls created those unique light patterns instead. It was awesome!

  Do it! It’s definitely my most used landscape lens at this point. I usually only swap out for situations that need a scene compressed. 🙂
