Meadow's Run is a natural waterslide; the river has carved a smooth path through the rock, which many locals and visitors alike ride for a decent stretch. I didn't capture too much of the slide itself, but you can look up plenty of YouTube videos on it.

Here is the end of the 'slide', where riders exit Meadow Run before it empties into the Youghiogheny River. This post is also where I also recognize that this river is called 'Meadow Run' and not 'Meadow's Run'. I'll be writing a suicide note after the end of this thread for being so dense.

This particular photograph is a panoramic, the final resolution resting between 160 megapixels cropped and 175 megapixels uncropped. If anyone wants to see it in full-resolution, I have the file available on Dropbox.

My technique was rather lazy and I apologize for that. I was more intent on enjoying myself. I didn't bring a remote to either of these locations. However, I still enjoyed the photographs in end for what they're worth as tourist snapshots.

Here is a side view from Cucumber Falls. This is the night after the area received heavy rainfall over the course of two days, developing flash floods in the area.

This resulted in a large volume of water through the river, giving the falls a rather flush look. Given the amount of water in the rivers, I didn't catch anyone riding the natural waterslide, and I was a bit too hesitant to try it myself.

Cucumber Falls from a distance. To the left you can see some typical midwestern folk meandering around the landscape.

This is some foliage downstream Cucumber Run, which also empties into the Youghiogheny River.

One last view of Cucumber Falls.

Was trying to find a good vantage point from the front without any trees in the way, which was harder than I'd thought without getting my feet wet. I only had a 55mm on me, so I stitched together four frames to get a wider view.

That's all.

P.S.

These were all great, really enjoyed them along with the information about the area. How long was the exposure?

>>3127243
Thanks, anon. All the exposures were between 4 and 15 seconds, except for the close up of Meadow Run, which was a 1/4th exposure. No ND filters were use.

These are pretty bad. Stick to chalk gimmicks.

You talk too much and I suspect think too highly of yourself.

Please keep tourist snapshots in the recent photo thread. No one could possibly enjoy these pictures.

>>3127286
>These are okay for an amateur, but I prefer your studio photography.

Thanks, anon! I still like photographing landscapes on the side, but it's not something I go out of my way for. Granted, the editing is a bit sloppy and I rushed my technique while photographing.

>>3127287
>Your writing could be more concise and your over-explanation is insulting to the average reader on /p/.

Noted. I have a lot of improvements I can make in my writing. Thanks for the feedback!

>>3127294
>Generally speaking, unless photographed by an expert, landscapes are not an especially interesting subject, and would fare better in the Recent Photo Thread. Most people aren't especially interested in viewing amateur landscape photography.

Noted, but I typically don't post so many images at once.

Focus more on the waterfalls, you have a lot of competing elements in compositions. If you're shooting a water fall, make the waterfall the main subject. Consider every object in the frame and whether it adds or detracts to the photo. Using trees to frame a water fall (if done correctly, typically without two vertical lines running across and through the from) isn't a bad concept. But the way you did it was terribly composed. Keep practicing. You'll get it!

caught you tripdropping. filtered.

what is this cringefest of a post? are you koorva?

Unfortunately there was no vantage point where this was possible. Thanks for the suggestion.

These I enjoyed. Good write up too.

>>3127222
the long exposure makes these look really cool. I enjoy this composition.
