Bash Bish Falls WAW

Last week, I took some time off from work after having an extremely busy start to June. We packed the car, strapped in the kid, and headed north from the City up the Taconic State Parkway. We were staying at Lake Taghkanic State Park in a camping spot secluded from the other campers that also had a hiking trail leading from the two campsites.

This was also our second time camping with our daughter, who turns four in August. She had been camping when she was 11 months old when we stayed in a cabin (no water or electricity) at Watkins Glenn. This time was tent camping. She loved almost every moment of the trip.

The photo in this post was taken down near the water at Bash Bish Falls in Massachusetts. We parked in New York State and walked to the falls. I had brought along an ND filter so I could get longer exposure times, but even with my aperture stopped down to its smallest setting, the longest exposure I could get before blowing out the highlights was less than 3 seconds.

I also had the spray of the falls to content with, so of the multiple exposure I took, only about 3 turned out alright. This shot is my favorite of those three.
