This past Monday my workshop partner David Sokol and I made a trip up to the Franconia area of New Hampshire to scout out locations for our October 2019 workshop. We visited the Inn at Sunset Hill where our workshop is located. What a great place! Judy was a welcoming face at the front desk and Dick the owner gave us a tour of this wonderful facility. We are looking forward to visiting here in the spring and fall for many years to come.
After scouting around Sugar Hill we headed to Topsham Vermont. The reds and oranges were not as prominent as the yellows but they were still very vibrant. The mist and light rain put a damper on things but allowed us to shoot most of the day.
Next we shot down 302 to the Kancamagus Highway to shoot a Sabbaday waterfall which was running at a good pace. Dave had his circular polarizer and I had my 6 stop cpl dark from Breakthrough Photography. This was a bit to much for water falls at 2-3 sec of exposure but I made it work. Sabbaday Falls is a short walk from the parking lot and when the water is flowing and the leaves have turned and are lying on the rocks it can make for some great photography.
All of the waterfall shots were done in the 2-3 sec range with the Breakthrough Photography new magnetic holder system which I will be doing a review on when I have used it more. It was pretty easy to use and the results were great. The color is spot on and the circular polarizer (CPL) worked great. Taking the sheen off the rocks was just enough to make these images special. Please join David and I next year for our Fall Foliage and Waterfall Workshop in Sugar Hill, NH.
