This past weekend marked the end of our fall workshop season with our Great Falls Autumn Workshop. The weather was challenging with lots of clouds and rain. No breaks in the sun at all for 3 days! We made the best of it and all came away with some really nice images. The color was pretty sweet especially along Scotts Run. Here is a small gallery of images. Enjoy!

Glade Creek Grist Mill, Babcock State Park, West Virginia

•October 24, 2009 • Leave a Comment

While on my last trip to the Blue Ridge in Virginia, I got the sudden urge to drive the  extra 130 miles over to Babcock State Park near New River Gorge. I left Crabtree Falls area after the light went harsh and made it over to the mill around 3pm. The light was harsh, so I drove over to Cathedral Falls (an extra 23 miles west) and shot the falls for a bit before heading back to the grist mill at sunset.
