Those shots are excellent! I love these pictures and they have motivated me to go out and take some of my own, I have been lazy on it as of late!

Thanks guys. Glad to see I motivated someone.

I'm loving #1, #20 and #21.

Great colors too.
Good work

Wow Andy,
This a great series. Really a study of the waterfall with exceptional compositions. I was impressed with #3, awed at #4, floored at #5 and then gave up keeping track of the individual images and took the whole study in. Very well done!

Thanks Eoren, and Marc.

Enders makes composition really easy. There are so many cool perspectives and rock formations there to shoot. You could probably go there every day for a year or more and never come back with the same thing twice. Really is one of the best series of falls in New England.

Yeah both great places. Enders is really cool. There are so many possibilities at both. But it is mostly catching the right time of year. Lately, there has been enough rain, so they are flowing pretty good, and the foliage change helps too.

Holy crap! That's a great spot, I could spend hours there. I really like the ones with the swirling leaves, but there's a bunch of good ones here.

Thanks Ron, I'm sure you could. Yeah both places are pretty good. So good I did spend hours in both.

Nice waterfalls, wtg.

Awesome set of waterfall photos. I am definitely going to have to head over there the next time my girlfriend and I visit her parents in Chicopee, MA.

jforbes · October 16, 2009

Wow.

I will go there. Maybe not this year (or, hell, maybe during the winter). Awesome location, and fantastic photos!

squirl033 · October 16, 2009

very nice. wish we had places like that out here. i like to get in close for smaller, more detailed compositions, and those falls you've shown look like perfect spots for that... excellent series.

Thanks, and yeah they are very nice for intimate shots. Enders is great, but it can be very dangerous there if you don't pay attention to what you are doing, as the falls there are big enough to hurt you if you make a mis-step.
Numerous people have been rescued out of there this summer.

Yeah I really want to get up there this winter, tried last year, but it was the day after a ice storm, and almost impossible to move around, especially 10-20 feet above a fast moving stream or waterfall. Not a fun position to be in, so I left. Maybe later this winter, after all the crummy early winter ice storms are over.
