Rivelin Falls in Autumn

Rivelin Falls in Autumn

These falls are a little beyond Third Coppice in the Rivelin Valley. There were several falls going all at once and I just had to get over the river via slippery walkway across the top of the falls. My walking boots are great, but any slippery surfaces they are pretty useless. I slipped and got a leg dunked but not soaked. My Tripod was an aid across but I feared I could have gone all the way in. We do have to work for our art.
This was a 10 minute exposure using a Lee Big Stopper (10 stop filter) and a circular polariser. Editing done in Lightoom 4 and Nik Color FX Pro to bring out some colour and detail.
The woods in the final throes of Autumn adding some dramatic colour.
