Dingmans Falls I haven’t been here in quite a few years

By Frank T. Smith Closed

Categories: Photography

. Normally you can park at the visitors center. But, the road is now closed. It adds an additional couple miles on to the hike. It is clearly worth it. This area is part of the National Park Service. Because the falls are in a valley, I had to do 3 bracketed shots to get the full dynamic range. They ranged from 3.2 to 50 seconds. A tripod was absolutely necessary. Stay tuned for the video.

Camera: @getolympus #getolympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III
Lens: M.Zuiko ED 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO
Settings: ISO 200, 12mm, f/8.0, 3.2 to 50.0 secs w/10stop ND filter

Silver Thread Falls Hiking up to Dingmans Falls, I passed a very narrow waterfall

By Frank T. Smith 2 Comments

. The name of it is Silver Thread Falls and I assume the name comes from how narrow it is. This area is part of the National Park Service.

Lens: M.Zuiko ED 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO
Settings: ISO 200, 17mm, f/8.0, 1/20 sec
