These pictures were taken on an absolutely enchanting morning on Rivington Pike on 1-9-2015 on an unusually sunny day for so late in the year giving me some absolutely spellbinding lighting effects. Enjoy!
Starting out simple...
This tree has been there forever. I'm pretty sure it's dead but it never seems to wither... (or maybe I don't know enough about trees)
Yep, I started playing with the colour filter again. Kind-of effective.
The first of many with the amazing light that morning gave so late in the year. (low sun)
Who left this dog? Don't worry, the owners came and found it again and I got their consent for the pics I took.
Obviously Disney owns the character rights... I'm just some guy taking pretentious photos.
Okay, this one I love...
That leaning tree is still there, years later! I swear it!
From your perspective...
Steep slope and deep red bark with the bright light behind, how could I not?
Tell me that colour filter is not effective! (though I confess I probably didn't really know what to do with it. Still love this one though)
Playing with some of the blurring effects... not terrible.
Tall shots of stairways are cool. Argue with anyone who says otherwise!
I see your path-carving wall and I raise you...
... a far older one, completely reclaimed by nature.
Pond at the bottom of the waterfall with tiny fish at the right time of year!
Not sure what to call this, I took to calling it the witch grave. I normally would have cleared the rubbish from a place like this (though I'm not sure if anything was actually buried there) but felt it more prominent to leave the rubbish in the pic (then clear it). That's just how most people treat places like this.
Seriously, I have no idea if this is an actual grave or just some rocks but who puts rubbish on something like this anyway.
Had to go for an effective shot of it.
If anybody actually had buried something under this (way to small to be a person, maybe a pet) do please get in touch and I'll take these pictures down. For now all I know is that it's an interesting sculpture of rocks and branches and it's utterly beautiful.
Closest thing to a selfie I've put up here. Didn't think you could see my left leg in it when I took it though.
Closer shot of the pond at the bottom of the waterfall.
This is just the bottom of the waterfall. It carries on a way back. (plus that bridge is where the earlier picture was taken from)
Exact same spot looking further down still. Okay that pond wasn't at the very bottom, that's the very bottom.
Gotta love that colour filter.
Reflecting the sky... One of my favourites.
Closer shot above the lower bridge (climbed a little for this one, be safe kids!)
Still in love with that light!
Look at the light, look at it!
Pretty much an identical shot with duller light exposure.
Dark and light in one, again how could I not.
The path under the hill, under the wood, but there's still more underneath that.
That light was astonishing, it felt like I was in some Faerie realm or something.
Any questions?
I can't caption this one well enough, love it.
Natural archway!
Finally on the bottom bridge.
Playing with the light some more.
And I'll leaf you with this amazing one to finish for now. (Puns)
I took SOO many pictures that morning. I think I can fit them all in three posts, didn't want to overload it in one. Please do feel free to browse next time. That light demanded it! As always, comments and tips are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for browsing!
Cya soon!
