Quaker Falls

Photo courtesy of Emmanuel Panagiotakis.            (Click on the photo for a larger view. Of all of God's creations, waterfalls are surely some of the most beautiful. Today's picture by photographer Emmanuel Panagiotakis offers us a spectacular view of western Pennsylvania's Quaker Falls, one of the country's numerous "natural water features". Here are the camera and settings used to capture this image: Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Lens: EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM Shooting Mode: Manual Shutter Speed: 1/6 second Aperture: f/10 ISO: 100 Image Quality: RAW Filter: Circular Polarizer Image take on: A cloudy day at approximately 4:30PM Mr. Panagiotakis invites you to visit him at www.epphoto.net.     Visitor Comments... Name: Gordon Brugman Town: Gatlinburg, TN Great waterfall capture, Mr. Panagiotakis. Good use of long exposure to create the “angel hair” effect on the falling water, and the inclusion of the lone hiker gives us a good point of reference to appreciate the size of the waterfall. Thanks for this wonderful image!     Name: Tammy Oliver Town: Glade Spring, VA I agree with Mr. Brugman, this truly is a wonderful waterfall picture. Very, very nice.     Name: Ron Trees Town: Spokane, WA What a grand photo today from Mr. Panagiotakis!! I have seen this photo before somewhere, but I cannot remember where. I liked it then also. I can imagine myself being one of those people in the picture. I can almost hear that waterfall. This is just a beautiful photo!! Thanks for sharing it with us!     Name: Norma Hale Town: Clitheroe, England (UK) Today's picture is simply breathtaking. I am getting rather spoiled seeing such wonderful photographs every day. Nice job Mr. Rouse!   Comment on today's picture  |  View previous "Pictures Of The Day"  |  Submit a photo Why I publish the "Picture Of The Day"
