My son and I are into birding so we enjoyed hearing the birds along highland trail. He got great shots of both falls and birds.
Heading there this coming weekend. Thank you for the Idea. It is so close to our home, I kind of forgot about that as a spot to go to.
We were surprised by how really nice this area is. So many waterfalls, just some heavy hiking so plan ahead!
Another great video both and what a beautiful place to take pictures at going to do some research as I know we have some interesting waterfalls here in Wales thanks for sharing as always 🙏🏴 📷
Thanks Paul. We love to shoot waterfalls, so peaceful bring alone in the woods! If you do go share some pics with us on Instagram!
@@BillEricPhotography will do 👍
Nice one guys. Wow. My daughter went to college in Scranton for 4 years and I never went over there to see it. Now I really wish I had. Guess I'll have to make a special trip some time.
You should it definitely worth it. How was Scranton? My daughter is interested in possibly going there.
@@BillEricPhotography Actually, my daughter was at Marywood, about a mile from U of Scranton. Marywood was pretty good though, depending on her major.
beautiful pictures! so glad you like central pa!
If you go back, start at the bottom. or, at least see the huge falls at the bottom across Rt 118- on the side of the smaller parking lot. that's where the major falls are. you don't even need to hike to see them! just down under where the road goes over the stream. that's the most dramatic spot.
Maybe next time we will do that. We started at the top and we're exhausted by the time we got to the bottom.

Good stuff guys!!!! Fortunately, I live 1.5 hours away from the falls:)
I wish I lived a little closer. I would definitely be there a couple of times a year!
Great educational channel really enjoyed allot and will use all tips for our channel!
Thanks, happy to help!
Wish I knew you were there love to have meet you . Live close to the Park. Could tell you some very good places to go
That would have been good. I'm sure we will be back at some point.
I just spent 3+ days there. (Two prior day trips made it *very* clear you could never hope to capture everything or do enough justice to it in one.) You guys beat me to the punch of getting something produced. A truly spectacular place.
It really is pretty wonderful, and it was a lot more than we expected, both physically and artistically. I think in the future we will definitely go back, but have a plan for maybe breaking it into multi days, especially depending on the weather.
Thanks for sharing, guys! It looks like a spectacular place to visit.
It definitely is, even if you are not a photographer!
My wife and I were talking about trips we want to take in 2020 yesterday. A photo trip to Ricketts Glen is near the top of our list. My plan between now and when we go is to practice with ND filters and settings so I'm proficient when I get there. I plan to take my new Breakthrough Photography 10 stop ND filter with a step up ring to cover all the lenses rather than tinkering with different stop reduction filters. Do you think just the 10 stop will be enough? I'll be shooting with a 5d Mark IV, 16-35 F4L, 24-70 F4L and 70-200 F4 L II. Thanks for sharing your trip; I always enjoy your videos.
Hi, yes a 10 stop will be good but it might be hard to focus through it. I used a 6 stop all day and was fine. Really depends on the light. By the end of the day I had no filter on.
Really like this channel. Has helped my learning of taking photos. Keep up the good work
Thank you that’s so great to hear. Thanks for watching!!
Really enjoying the channel, gents. I bought the M50 over a year ago, collected a few M lenses, and then life got in the way and stop taking photos with it. When you have a pretty good camera phone in your pocket, that tends to happen. I stumbled upon the channel as I started using it more and trying to brush up my skills. Water landscape shots is something that I've always wanted to get into, but have never had the time or patience to try. Are there some affordable ND filters to get started with? I would probably put this on the EF-M 11-22mm or 22mm, so 55mm or 43mm filters, respectively. I heard you mention perhaps staying away from the variable ND filters.
Hi David, glad you found us! As far as ND filters go I would definitely stay away from the variable kind. You might also want to stay away from no name brands that you haven't heard of before. I have had very good luck with Tiffen ND filters. they are decent and not super expensive. For the size filters you are looking for I think they will be very reasonable. Hoya is also another good brand. Thanks for watching!
@@BillEricPhotography Awesome, I've used Tiffen filters in the past. I may look at one of their multi filter packs with the various stops. Any feedback on the Breakthrough Photography or K&F Concept filters? They seem to be very prevalent on Amazon right now.
We had a chance to try out the breakthrough filters at the expo last week and they were very nice to handle. The reviews on the image quality with them are all good. They have magnetic filters too which seem pretty cool and very easy to use.
Do you think a 24 - 105 would be wide enough to capture the larger falls?
Probably, that's a very versatile focal range.
Guys that was a great video and the shots you shared are awesome! Thanks
Thanks! Glad you liked it, it's a great place to spend a day! Bill
Another great tutorial guys! The photos are really outstanding. I can’t wait to see more of them on your IG pages.
Thanks Guy 😄
Hi guys - thanks for the informative video. I'd like to know what variable ND filter you recommend for the Canon M50. Thanks!
I have a tiffen but we both find that most variable ND filters have some sort of color cast issues we prefer the solid ones.
I have issues with sharp focus. What focusing mode did you use? I shoot Sony and they have wide AF, zone AF, flexible spot and Manual focus and DMF, i.e digital with manual for small adjustments. What would you recommend? If you use flexible spot, how far into the scene do you generally focus so everything tack sharp front to back? Did you focus stack? How difficult was it working with tripod as I imagine hard to find level spot to get tripod adjusted. I presume you used self timer orvremote trigger to avoid camera shake? Finally my camera and lens have IBIS. Turn it off when on tripod? BThanks, beautiful images. Also how dangerous did you find the trails?
Thanks Richard. We pretty much always use single spot focusing. It’s very easy to move the spot around in the frame to focus in exactly what you want. But when shooting on a tripod we will generally use manual focus. Tripods are pretty easy to use on any terrain, just have to find 3 spots to put the legs, which can be varied in height. It shouldn’t be necessary to turn the IBIS off when on a tripod (the camera should detect the tripod and work accordingly) but I always turn it off anyway. The trails at Ricketts Glen are fairly difficult in some spots on the upper half of the falls areas.
Thank you for the answers to my questions. Using a wide angle lens how far into the scene do you focus so that everything is sharp? I think the rule of thumb is 1/3 into the frame, i.e. pick an object 1/3 of the way into the scene to get everything sharp from front to back or do you use hyperfocal distance scale? Thanks
I’ll use depth of field preview and check the scene to make sure everything is in focus.
you guys are absolute top class. keep up the great work! when will y'all be in WDW next?
Thanks, I appreciate that! Neither one of us actually has any plans as of right now. But that could change at any moment if we get the itch to go down there!
