This is New Jersey's highest waterfall. With all the rain we were having , it was really flowing.

Hi, Mike. Nice work on this. Sorry about all your rain up there. We are heading up to CT for the weekend to visit our daughter and family. Hope the forecast is good.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi Binh,

Gotta laugh out of the hidden falls comment. I was running late but I wanted to stop at Hidden (Silver Spray). I had shorts on with sneakers, but no socks. I started walking up the hill on the left and everything was wet. I was about halfway up the hill and I noticed I was knee deep in poison ivy. I am fairly alleric. So I went back to the stream at Buttermilk to wash off the best that I could. Never made it to Hidden and each day I was waiting to see if the poison ivy would develop. Finnally after six days it showed up on just one foot. Doesn't look like a real bad case so far. So we will see how bad it gets

That's very nice indeed.

But really how tall are these, they only look about 30-40' high

VERY nicely done. Especially like your choice of shutter speed.

Some may not consider it kosher, but I think I'd have been inclined to walk out in the water and toss that one big log out of the frame. It seems to break up the composition just a little.

Hey Fo, believe it or not, I was just thinking how much I thought the foreground log actually adds to the shot !! Different strokes.........

I figure the well lit log gives a lot of life to an otherwise bland forground, and is a nice counterpoint to the brightness of the falls.

Mike: I'm wondering if you enhanced the brightness of the log in post, or was it actually that bright?

Great shot. The first film I ever shot and processed myself in a darkroom was taken in the Delaware Water Gap. I was thirteen at the time, it was during the fifties, and I think I was using a Kodak Brownie. A black and white of a deer, shot through a cyclone fence, as I recall.
