Outings: Recapping the waterfall outing.

Hello all,

Saturday June 6th waterfall outing / mentoring session was very successful, with a lot of familiar faces in the crowd! We visited Tiffany Falls in the morning, and had good light, with the falls mostly in the shade. Typically when shooting waterfalls, overcast days are preferable, which made for some interesting shooting on this day. We next headed upstream to Washboard falls which is actually located at the top of Tiffany falls, but requires a drive around the corner for better access. And our last waterfall location of the day (and lunch stop) was Waterdown falls, a favorite of mine, and others. We unfortunately had direct sunlight at Waterdown, which made for some challenging shooting, but I know for myself, I came away with a few nice images.

We ended the day off with a visit to the abandoned mill in Georgetown (Barber Mill), which was going to be redeveloped into a condo / retail complex, but that project fell by the wayside. The site is for sale, but I would imagine that it would take a pretty hefty investment to keep the heritage aspects of the site, and make it safe for the public at the same time. The site offered great advantages to shoot urban decay, and for myself had even more significance given my historic mill project that I am presently working on.

I will upload some pictures in the coming week from the outing. Thank you to all who came, hope you had a good day!
