Shooting a Year Later

My last Landscape photo I took was September 2021 then my life took a change and I moved to a new area, then end of 2019 I was in a horrible car accident that destroyed my car and literally changed so much. I spent some time mentally recovering while also having my full time job take over. Then I got to the point where I was missing everything that came with shooting Landscape Photography.

I started planning a trip to Cataract Falls with my friend Kat who is a nature lover. We planned our trip for this past Sunday which was 10/2 and it was a huge success even after being rushed with a lot of feelings while shooting, I got composed and finally got some amazing images of the area.

Cataract Falls State Park, Indiana

My first location wasn’t the greatest which was the lower falls across on the shore line but the weather and sun wasn’t really being my friend at the time and I couldn’t really capture much from it but when I walked down and got to standing on the lower falls, I was able to capture some amazing images.

This is only my 4th trip out shooting Landscapes with a brand new setup and still learning to capture images with it but photography and becoming good is all about practicing and learning how different things work. I will say one thing I want to do is go back soon and capture some video of the area and start working on making videos too with my shoots for people to see.

One of the fun things on top of the lower falls was all the different little falls plus rushing around. After looking through the images I found a lot of variety of areas that I can focus on different detailed shots too that I didn’t get to focus on this trip but I will definitely start focusing on them more.

I didn’t get anything from the upper falls because it was way over crowded for my liking with people because it was an amazing start to fall. I want to definitely get the upper falls captured with the covered bridge in the images too. Always another trip in the future.

Coming up in the future will be some editing tutorials and how I finish my work and prepare it for print and web display. Also I will be talking about some upcoming art shows I have coming up and possibly a future gallery show. Lots of stuff to work on and also to give everyone to read too.

Thanks for reading,
