Description
This is the first of a few shots I will be posting of this waterfall and park. (Blackwaterfalls state park WV) I know I'm usually one to post at least 2 shots per fall but in this case I feel like I really have too. This park is 6 hours from where I live so who knows when the next time will be when I come back. I hope you enjoy and thanks for viewing!Related content

I'd love to see an HDR or B&W, neither of which I've never attempted here! I always just get so caught up in the color there that I forget to even consider the other options. Can't wait to see the results!

I'm working on both versions. I'll probably put one up tomorrow.

P - Your work is ever expanding dude!! I love your latest shots.
It has been a while since I have been able to explore DA. Sorry for the late attention!

Many thanks Eddy! No worries, you have been rightfully busy with Dig the falls! I'm pumped to hear that it will be live any day now! I have to get a lot more photos on there but that resizing method you mentioned to me wouldn't work in PSE 7. I'm slowly noticing a few things that won't work in PSE lol. Oh well, I'll figure something out. Memorial day weekend I will be in Allegheny with my brother and a couple of friends for our now annual guys camping weekend. Every year it's a different weekend or park but it's a nice quick reprieve from everything. I get all my vacation time back in July which is 3 weeks worth so we need to plan something for sure! It's been too long!

hy, no worries. was just a thought about that weekend. We can meet up another time.
PSE7 should still allow you to size them down and then run the simple sharpen tool after. let me know what part is not working and i might be able to help.
The site is almost there... Just need to finish backing up the old one and I think it will be ready!

Ok so I found the unsharp mask tool but I have no idea what to do with it lol. If you guys have any free dates in July or August let me know, I'll work something out with my vaca time.

I haven't seen any shots of this fall with the bridge in the comp. Nice exposure too. Excellent work, Paul!!

That's funny I was thinking the exact same thing when I was there, no one shoots the bridge. So I figured why not. Many thanks Mike, glad you like! it

I love going to the Blackwater Falls, me and my family will usually stop there on the way to Hawks Nest. This is a gorgeous shot, but I've never seen the bridge before. Which part of the park is it in? Can't wait for more!

Thank you so much! There is a trail near the conference center in the park. The bridge is just a short distance from the trail.
