Last Light on the Footbridge
This is the bridge over the creek that leads to Blue Hen Falls. I've never seen the creek named on maps, so I call it Blue Hen Creek. (Catchy, huh?) This image was taken after 6 pm in late October during a persistent drizzle. The biggest challenge of getting this shot was the other photographer on site who kept trying to look over my shoulder so he could see what I was doing. The thick smell of alcohol on his breath explained why he kept wandering into my long exposures. Sheesh.

D70s, 18-70 @ 18mm, 30 sec @ f/22, tripod, polarizer

I have heard other recollections of an unruly photog haunting Blue Hen - a real jerk. You are not the only one that ran into this dude.

Nice shot, Chuck.!

Very nice shot indeed - too bad about the loiterer!

Nice comp. The rain really adds to this shot. Gosh all I was trying to do is see what settings you were using!

Nice comp, Chuck. The rain saturated the colors nicely.

OK Chuck--Helicon Focus--how many images???????

Somehow I bet you just shot it regular though and did a darn good job at that.

Fantastic DOF & COMP.
