Early on St. Patrick's Day my nature photography class took a trip to Ohiopyle State Park, a little over an hour away from downtown Pittsburgh. The weather for this trip was absolutely gorgeous, our best weather yet I think.
The first area of the park we were at was the cascading falls, a pretty magnificent water fall. Instead of dedicating all my time photographing the waterfall I was getting close up to the water moving along various rocks in the river.
I really liked photographing the water up close, I think it gives it a unique look. I did not have a tripod with me to make the water look silky so I took the opposite approach and shot at a pretty high ISO and used a high shutter speed.
There were a lot of muddy spots at Ohiopyle which actually made for great photographs. The reflections in the mud were beautiful and the sunlight was just right. I liked contrasting the dirty mud with the green tuft of grass in the photo below, and I was able to get really close to get the water droplets, the photo below is my favorite from the whole trip.
And of course there was spring in the air, and an area of grass that was filled with these flowers.
