Inglis Falls Part II

I was surprised at some of your comments yesterday, saying you enjoyed the pictures with railings in them.  Going back over the post it opened my eyes to a whole new creative perspective.  Never-the-less, let me finish my train of thought because there are a number of other limitations in the way of photographing Inglis Falls.

There are three viewpoints for photographing the falls.  The first, a viewing platform that avoids going down any steps, may be accessible, but you are looking through the trees at a partial view of the falls.  I could not even get here last week, because there was a sharp foot deep drop in the gravel pathway.

The lower viewpoints require quite a few steps, and in the third case, hopping over some boulders.  These are the sorts of viewpoints I will simply not be able to access.  Thank goodness I already have some hundreds of waterfall pictures around here, like the above two.


I can also focus a bit on the history of these waterfalls.  Almost all of them at one time had a mill pond and mill.  It was a different era!

  1. It's true, your photographic perspective has changed and presented you with new challenges but you are now seeing things from a level that some folks don't think about and can't or don't want to bend down far enough to take the photo. I see some new photographic advantages coming up for you:))

  3. You've got some excellent photos there. The reason we look at blogs is to see the world from other people's viewpoints.

  6. I was also wondering if you could get a "selfie stick" that would allow you to put your phone above the railings for pictures. Just a thought. :-)
