Manido Falls

Reflecting Pool

A section of Manido Falls on the Presque Isle River catches my eye at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. The mid-morning sun plays nicely off the water and the trees from this vantage point. I move in close to keep the "burned up" front-lit trees further to the right out of my image. F22 at 0.3, ISO 400, 24-70mm lens at 24mm

I find the patterns of rock, water, and colorful woods at Manido Falls exquisite on their own, but combined together the patterns make this one of my favorite views so far in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Hiking to this waterfall is well worth the effort. F22 at 1 second, ISO 100, 24-70mm lens at 24mm

When you are photographing fall color and the sun becomes too bright to shoot the trees and leaves, try shooting the reflections of the bright colors. The mist from Manido Falls on the Presque Isle River at the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park made the rocky surface very reflective. By positioning myself at just the right angle, I was able to show the reflections of the brilliant colors. F22 at 1/5, ISO 100, 14mm lens at 14mm
