I was able to step out for an hour on a late Sunday afternoon and photograph the Cohoes waterfall in mid-October. I was able to arrive just before sunset. Unfortunately it was cold and windy, so the long exposure images are a bit blurry owing to the movement of the trees.
The above image was photographed with the Fuji X100s on a tripod and stitched together in post using Lightroom CC.
Have a great day!
