Description

Chapman Falls, located in Devil's Hopyard State Park, East Haddam, Connecticut is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the state.
It is steeped in folklore regarding the devils name. While it's a matter of debate how Devil's Hopyard State Park obtained its rather unusual name, the most colorful story directly involves Chapman Falls. According to stories that likely originated with early Connecticut settlers, the "potholes" at the base of the falls were created by the devil when he accidentally dipped his tail in the water.Outraged, the devil hopped all about, leaving indentations with his fiery hooves.

This is just stunning Gary. I'm honored to be the first to critique. The shutter speed you've chosen here only enhances the beauty of the falls. The composition, desaturation are wonderful. The dark tonal range brings out the water so nicely. My favorite photo from you. Congatulations!

Wow that cascade is just brilliant! I dont think I can fault this. I am no photographer but fantastic Gary. Happy birthday by the way.

This is wonderful.

The long exposure is perfect, there isn't any over exposure at all. B&W is perfect for this.

I'm looking for a waterfall where I can try a longer exposure, every time I do it ends up a complete white-out!

Stunning, Gary...nature at it's finest! B/W was perfect, as was the history of the area! Perfectly rounded to tantalize multiple senses!
You and MsMichelleLynn have to quit scaring the amateurs over here!!!!! Just when I think I have a good one, you guys come out with something like this!

(But don't stop!)

lovely place.. desaturation works perfect here
I quite apreciate the bridge on the top, it gives a reference about how big is the waterfall

Thanks Remus. It is actually a fence around the area to show the "off-limits" perimeter. Years ago, when I was a child, people used to climb all over the rocks and even jump off into the pool at the bottom of the falls. Today, in the era of lawsuits, the fences serve to discourage any such daring exploits.

I think the fence adds a quaint touch to the scene.

I can't imagine this piece in any other palette other than mono Gary. Amazing ranges of tones supported by a good crisp presentation.

Great!Q

To tell you the truth, this is one of the best shots I've seen from you in a while.

It is really good. The soft look of the water, in contrast with the sharply detailed rocks... Very cool.

Excellent! The 1/10 exposure gives it just enough blur to get a special effect, but not too long to make it look like silk. I really like it and the feeling it produces.

Very beautiful BW photo, but the white sky at the top a lit distract to me.

Thats a great pic, but the ramp or fence or what ever it is at the top takes away from the qulity of it....
personly i think it sould be croped to just above were the water is falling
but thats just my oppinion
