Posted on May 1, 2020 by Steve Gingold

This is the downstream cascade I mentioned with the waterfall images. I did a few sections here too, but I think the whole works a little better. I’ll share the others tomorrow and see what you think. At first I … Continue reading →

04.30.2020 Waterfall Intimacy

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Yesterday’s image showing the whole of the waterfall is the view I have made often in the past. But the closer looks are appealing on their own and I am sharing two today. I made this image then waded a … Continue reading →

Posted on April 10, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Wouldn’t it be nice to head out for a hike here? This is Quabbin Watershed Gate 15, an old road that eventually disappears into the reservoir as so many others do. It runs along Atherton Brook, I call it Atherton … Continue reading →

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Steve Gingold

I began my vacation 12 days ago and have been spending as much time as possible in the Quabbin watershed-mostly capturing foliage images. Did some yard work too, but it was all about autumn shooting and we have had surprisingly … Continue reading →

Posted on October 8, 2016 by Steve Gingold

Here is that foliage image that was in the pipeline. The color is really building nicely in the North Quabbin area and I hope to be capturing it at every opportunity every day for the coming week. The full moon … Continue reading →

06.08.2016 Atherton Brook Waterfall

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Steve Gingold

The fungus was nice and so was the s-curve in the brook. But what I was really looking for was the waterfall. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, visiting a familiar place gives one a chance to capture something a little … Continue reading →

06.07.2016 A brook runs through it

Posted on June 7, 2016 by Steve Gingold

02.28.2016 Briggs Brook Waterfall

Posted on February 28, 2016 by Steve Gingold

First off a disclaimer. I forgot to make a video. I’ll try to remember next time. I’ve been to Briggs Brook several times over the last few years. It’s got many attractive cascades, but I always wanted to shoot this … Continue reading →

Posted on November 1, 2014 by Steve Gingold
