Cypress fall colors in Pedernales Falls State Park - 11-03-2008, 08:04 PM


All pictures were taken yesterday. They were processed using a popular "HDR" technique (combining three identical shots taken in bracketing mode). Water level was lower than usual.

Nice photos. What lens did you use for the most of the photos?

Nice set. I really like the composition in #5. The leaning trees in the one after it are also neat.

These are all great. I like them all. I especially like the fisherman included in #2.

Thanks for sharing. A friend & I were talking about going to Pedernales Falls last week. You've confirmed our plan.

Did I miss the falls pictures? Just curious, or perhaps none were taken. I have been wanting to do a photo shoot at the falls, but haven't gotten down in there as of this point. Perhaps next year early Spring.
