The First Light Camera Club – FLCC had a field trip recently to Vaughan Woods in Hallowell, Maine. The trail is really nice. There is a pond which feeds a stream. There is controlled water coming through the retaining wall, a couple of small waterfalls (probably more accurate “rapids”?), and a stone bridge.

I decided to mostly use a 50mm lens to gain some experience with that lens.

I took some photos from really close to the water, but I missed the focus point on most of those. I should’ve swung the screen on the camera out to see better.

I also experimented with utilizing foreground in several pictures. Most of these didn’t “make the cut”, but I found it worth experimenting.
