Watefall image 003 by Mike Lubchenko

Fuji Finepix S9600

Waterfall in Somers, Westchester County, NY, on the border of Yorktown Heights, inside the NYC watershed. Took the picture using a tripod (manual panning), while standing on the shore a few feet above the stream level.

One of the interesting things here, that can't be captured on film, is the incredible smell at this waterfall. It smells fantastic... unfortunately it's most likely from the polluted water. There's a giant plume of detergent (?) floating on the lower right side of the water in the picture.

Had to hold my hand over the lens in between each shot (for the 45+ seconds of processing) to prevent a build up of mist that would sometimes blow over from the falls. The sound from the falling water down at ground level is really loud but pleasant.
