My first trip to visit waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula. Was it worth the long drive?

Black River Scenic Byway
The draw-down
What would a river look like drained of it's water? Wonder no more.
Two near disasters and coping with direct sun
Exploring a section of the Ice Age trail in (gasp!) full sunlight! Tips and techniques to get the best images even in direct sun. Plus an old habit saves my gear!
Contoocook River
Several weeks ago, I bought myself a kayak. I've wanted one for years, but never bought one. Sure, I'd paddled a couple of times with other people's boats, but never owned one. Now I do it's allowing me a new way to engage with nature and my photography. Here it is - a Wilderness Systems... Continue Reading →
Step into the past
A couple of years ago, when I first saw photos of Royalston Falls in Royalston, MA, I knew I had to go see them for myself. For the longest time I thought they were on the Tully river, but it turns out that the watercourse is actually Falls Brook. Original, huh? Hey, I didn't name... Continue Reading →

I've shot these particular falls before, but after a big storm knocked branches and whole trees down so the cascades were a mess. When I saw fellow photographer Jeff Newcomer's recent post about Garwin falls, I saw they were clear... Continue Reading →

It has 3 branches (north, middle and south), runs for 57 miles with little interruption and its name translates from a... Continue Reading →

This year we've had so much rain that the waterfalls are still flowing mightily. Strange for this time of year when most streams, rivers and brooks are quite low. Makes for some fantastic photography though and of course I was out there. This is Mill Brook. Yeah, original huh? There is still a semi-active mill... Continue Reading →
