Tomhannock Reservoir Panorama

Tomhannock Reservoir Panorama

A slightly overcast Autumn day. Unseasonably warm days lending to brilliant late season foliage. A few hours to spare before the onslaught of trick-or-treaters. Time to hit the road!

I have been wanting to photograph a stretch of tree covered road winding around the Tomhannock reservoir for years, but always seemed to miss the peak color, so it was with a bit of trepidation that I drove out to the reservoir. Before driving around the reservoir, I pulled off on the North West end and took the above panorama. The sun and the sky was cooperating and color was quite vibrant.

The above image is a composite panorama comprised of five images taken with the Fuji X100s handheld. Lightroom CC was used to create the panorama and post process the final image.

Thanks for stopping by today!

The last image from the Cohoes waterfall series

Cohoes Waterfall in Autumn at Sunset

While the previous image was a multi-exposure multi-image composition, the above image is a single medium length exposure image taken from the river bed. While I liked the colors and light in the HDR images of the long exposures, the wind was causing blurring in the trees. In the above images the trees are much share, while the water is still blurred.

The above image was taken with a Fuji X100s and a B&W ND 1.8 filter.

That ends the Cohoes waterfall series.

Have a great day!

Cohoes waterfall HDR panorama

Autumn Sunset - Panorama

This image is multi-image multi-exposure HDR panorama of the Cohoes waterfall taken from the observation platform. The sun was just setting over the hills behind me and the light was mostly on the rock face and trees.

The photos were taken with the Fuji X100s and the HDR and panorama images were processed in Lightroom CC. A B&W ND 1.8 filter was also used.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cohoes Waterfall in Autumn

A continuation of my visit to the Cohoes waterfall. I made my way down to the riverbed and placed a ND filter on the Fuji X100s. The timing was nearly perfect as the sun began to light-up the rock face. Again, unfortunately the wind was quite strong and the trees are a bit blurry, but I do like the colors.

Have a great day!

Cohoes waterfall in October

Cohoes Waterfall in Autumn

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!
