There’s a Full Beaver Moon coming up on 11/30, but today I’ll offer this one from 2015 at the end of Old Enfield Road (Quabbin Gate 5) in Belchertown. While the thin clouds interfere with the moon detail I like … Continue reading →

Posted on August 26, 2020 by Steve Gingold

I almost missed the day. I haven’t shot a waterfall in ages. The last was the cascade at Eliza’s (I haven’t forgot about the print…I am just very slow sometimes, Eliza) and now pretty much anything one might call a … Continue reading →

05.25.2020 Plan B the second

Posted on May 25, 2020 by Steve Gingold

There was a time when you could enter Quabbin Park well before sunrise but a couple of years ago that changed. Finding the gates still closed I rushed around to see what else I might look at and hopefully find … Continue reading →

05.09.2020-2 Scarboro Brook one more time

Posted on May 9, 2020 by Steve Gingold

A side view of the cascade I posted on Thursday. I liked the mossy rock and wanted to give it its due. I composed for the entire back upper right slab also but that introduced too much of the dried … Continue reading →

05.07.2020 Scarboro Brook visit 2

Posted on May 7, 2020 by Steve Gingold

After the Hop Brook visit and before the Marsh Marigold visit, I stopped again at Scarboro Brook without the sun to contend with. It had risen but was still below the tree line and the brook is below road level … Continue reading →

Posted on May 2, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Another brook I’ve been meaning to photograph. I stopped there yesterday after shooting the marsh marigolds but the sun was coming through the trees and there were just a few cascades without hot spots. I liked the texture of the … Continue reading →
