This sequence of photo's are one scene shot at different distances and different shutter speeds. The progressively closer distances emphasized different parts of the scene. The slower and slower shutterspeeds gave the waterfalls softer and softer textures.
I like how the central log leads the eye along the waterfalls.

Here are more photo's of the ravine trails from three weeks ago. I went to Shades again this weekend, so I will have a lot more to post soon.
I decided to try a different state park besides Turkey Run. I visited Shades State Park. It is very near Turkey Run. They are about ten miles apart. A person could go to one during the Golden Hour in the morning, hike a few hours, then vistit the other park in the evening Golden Hour. Sounds like a plan to me! Throw in some camping and have the perfect weekend.
I hiked there about 6 - 7 hours and still missed almost half the park. So I will need to go back soon to try the other trails. The trails I followed went up and down some ravines. Most of the ravine floor was loose flat rocks that also had water running down them to varraing degrees. Most of the trails were rated "Rugged". I probably should have been wearing my boots to support my ankles. But no, I wasn't. I was wearing my sandles. It turned out OK this time. I have been avoiding wearing my boots. They are in very bad shape. I will need to replace them before winter.
Anyway, I took enough photo's that will need share them over multiple posts.
I visited Turkey Run State Park this last Saturday. This set of photo's are of the Falls Canyon with a long exposer to achieve the smooth flowing down look of the falling water.
Since it is spring now the spring rains have started. Here are a few water themed photos.
