love the music - which surprises me, since I have never been a huge fan of country... I guess my taste changes as I get older. Love your photo work... a good camera makes so much difference, but then, s does a good eye - which you have. Thanks for sharing.

I lived in Carlisle. Rickett's Glen is not very far from where you are. You could drive up in the AM, play in the falls, and be home by dinner. I did it many times from Carlisle... so much closer! My sister lived in AT for about 30+ years, so I was very familiar. I spent many Christmas Days in Coopersburg.

Are you using a digi camera - Canon? If you do use a tripod on a water shot, you can do a few things - one is to go to AV mode. You set the aperture (to a higher number) and the camera will automatically set the shutter speed. I actually have a degree in Photography. I was 45 when I graduated, so feel comfortable tat it is never to late to learn. If you ever need some help, email me... Also, something you can do when you have a photo where the foreground is dark and lighter in the background... (Look up bracketing in your booklet) under expose the foreground as much as necessary for it to be lighter... ten the background normal. In photoshop, layer them, (photo with darker foreground on top) then basically, you erase the foreground on the top layer, and have the better exposure come thru.
You'll need a tripod... this is what home magazines do all the time. You take an indoor shot and the window is blown out (bright). The you take the better exposure of the window and the room is dark... photoshop is a very useful tool.

This is SO beautiful. I love the colors. And this time of year, it's so nice to find fun stuff that isn't Christmas-y. I'm all Christmas-ed out and I LOVE fall stuff. Thank you!!!
