Skunk Run Falls

A waterfall that is not on the map (and without trail access) at my favorite park. The water was up after a storm the night before. It's been very dry here this summer.

It's fairly easy hiking, Lee, as long as you don't mind getting your feet wet. I've got waterproof hiking boots on my birthday list now. =)

Alan, the exposure was made around 7:30am before the dappled light made it's way down into the ravine, which is fairly deep. The film was TMY2 rated at 250. Metered 8" at f22, exposed at 10" at f22 based on Lee L's list which he based on Howard Bond's data. I extended the development time to bring up the shadows and increased the dilution to tame the highlights. Print was made with Grade 4, 5, and 1 filters. Figured I'd lay it all out there while I still remembered. =)
 
The movement of the water on the bottom is arresting, Doc. Beautiful landscape!
