All of My Favorite Waterfalls

Anyone that views my posts will notice that I’m a sucker for smooth waterfall photos.  Anytime I see flowing water, I want to break out a tripod, screw an ND filter on my lens and slow that shutter speed way down.  It may be cliche, it may be done to death, but a well composed waterfall shot with creamy water is just so tranquil and pleasing to look at.  Below are my favorites that I’ve taken (no promises on the ‘well composed’ part) broken down by location.

This has to start of course with my favorite local hiking place, Ohiopyle State Park.  I go there often since it’s a short distance away and offers so much variety.  Between the colors in Autumn, the freeze in Winter, the flooding in Spring and the complete foliage in Summer, it always a bit different every time I go.  First we have Ohiopyle in the Winter, since that is what we are experiencing now.

Moving on to when things are thawed in Ohiopyle, we have some of the same waterfalls, but drastically different in look.

Lastly, one of the best times to visit the park is in the Autumn for the leaves.

Traveling away from Ohiopyle and further south into West Virginia, the first stop would Blackwater Falls State Park which has one main waterfall and a few other smaller ones on different trails.

Going further south in West Virginia, a great place to spend some time with a tripod is the Sandstone Falls in New River Gorge National Park.  It’s not the easiest place to get too, but it is very much worth it.

Moving back up north toward’s home, I quite enjoy stopping in Swallow Falls State Park in Maryland.There is a nice tall waterfall along with numerous smaller ones along a short hiking path.

Finally, below are some random falls from other area’s.

I hope you’ve enjoyed checking out all of these waterfalls, I’m sure in the future I will hopefully new work to post.
