Watkins Glen Gorge Pictures

Yesterday I had the awesome privilege of visiting Watkins Glen State Park with some of my best friends. Last time I was there I was just getting into photography, trying to do my best with a 4mp Kodak DX7440. Needless to say, I was really excited to use my new skills and equipment out on one of the most beautiful state parks in the country. I do have to say, I'm pretty happy with how the images turned out. I'll definitely be printing some of these really big to hang on my wall.

We walked the entire Watkins Glen Gorge trail, stopping every few feet to capture the stunning landscapes. Thankfully my friends are also into photography so they didn't get too irritated!

Watkins Glen is covered with waterfalls, beautiful stone work, caves, and some great plant life.

  1. awesome shots! I LOVE the water droplet one!

    I need to find some good waterfalls around my area. I've only lived here for about 6 years so I am still not so familiar with my surroundings.

  3. Beautiful photos. I love the horizontal texture of the rocks against the vertical elements of waterfalls/rivers. The water droplet is great too.
