At Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, one of the most pleasant trails is the one that leads to Dickson Falls. In the dense forest, the falls cascade (like falls always do) and the brook babbles along through mossy rocks in the deep gorge. In autumn, those mossy rocks tend to be covered with colourful leaves.
With the light filtering through the trees reflecting off some of the rocks and not others, exposure was difficult. I made these images by employing my HDR technique where I make 3 exposures: one for the highlights; one for the mid-tones; and one for the shadows. I combined the 3 exposures using Photomatix.

Gorgeous photos.
Thank you Kris!
Love the dappled light and depth of the first image. It has a 3 dimensional quality. Stellar work.
Thank you Bill! That dappled light made the exposure difficult. I really appreciate your kind comments!
Wow, great shot Anne!
Thanks Jesse, much appreciated!
Beautiful Anne. I loe these types of images and the first one is outstanding.
Thank you for your comments Edith!
Very nice combination of colors and the way the water twists and turns through the first shot is superb. You have caught the flow of the water so well.
Thank you very much for your feedback and kind words LensScraper!
Beautifully captured Anne. Great silkiness to the water along with wonderful fall coors.
Thanks Len, I appreciate it. How was your photo workshop?
Very nice, Anne. This is one of my favorite type of scenes, and you’ve captured it well.
Thank you Rob! It was really dark in there with spots of brightness as the sun came through the trees so the exposure was a bit tricky. Glad you like it.
Lovely images Anne! I really like the composition in #1.
Thank you very much Russ 🙂
Very cool Anne 🙂
Thanks Charlie!
Wonderful colors, love the leafs on the moss!
Thanks Uwe, I appreciate that!
I’ve been following your blog for a while, having seen some of your images on G+. I think this is your strongest set yet. Very nice.
Hi Sharon, thank you very much for your visit and comments. I’m glad you like the Dickson Falls image. It turned a lot better than I thought it was going to when I took it. Funny how that happens…
