My Hot Shot – Footbridge Over the Pemigewasset River

“The Basin” area of Fraconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire is truly a beautiful place. The Pemigewasset River snakes through the park, creating many small waterfalls, rushing water… and endless compositions. This image was not particularly difficult to capture, the only tricky part was to get the full image (near to far) in good focus at 80mm. Oh, that and also having to wait a while until there was nobody on the bridge…

For me, there something peaceful, quiet and comforting about this image – the vibrant fall colors, the cold water, the little bridge that just invites people to cross it… I can still imagine the smell of pine trees in the air. I’ll need to go back there sometime soon, and this time, I want to spend a full day there, not just a few hours.

Image specs:

• Canon EOS 5D Mark II
• Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L USM lens at 80mm
• f/16, 3.2 seconds, ISO 100
• Hoya Moose Polarizer filter
• Gitzo GT3541LS tripod with RRS BH-55 ballhead, cable release

Please leave a comment, either positive or negative – it’s always a good thing to get feedback on my work and my blog posts. If you’re interested in purchasing a print of this image, please let me know.

See you in the field,

Rob
