Spring Flow on the Great Brook

The Great Brook (Blood Brook) follows Rte 120 and flows past Storrs Hill into the Mascoma River. A favorite spot of mine. Sunny day, so all shots were takem with 10 stop ND Filter and 30 second exposures.

Snow Mountain

Went for a quick hike up Snow Mountain located on Old Route 10 in Enfield/Grantham next to the Humane Society. The first mile is the access road to the radio tower. It is very steep, but in great shape. At the top of the hill it turns into old logging roads, fairly clear, but you need to watch your step.

  

Smith Pond Brook Loop

Got up early and hiked my new favorite trails. This time I took the yellow trail to the top (over 1700 feet) and stopped at the upper falls for some photos until I thought my fingers were going to freeze.

If you were wondering 72 rods is 1188 feet.

 

The shots above were 30 second exposures with a 10 stop ND Filter.

An Early Spring at Big Dog Falls

What a beautiful morning! Walked up to Big Dog Falls. It was a little teacherous with the ice and frozen snow. I had to wade accross the cold brook a few times to be able to make it up to the falls. On the way back I stirred up a group of deer feeding in the open logged hillside. The male actually came back around a little further down the trail and gave me a load snort before he darted off to join with the rest of the herd.

Winter Hike to Big Dog Falls

A week of warmer weather and a day of rain has brought spring like water levels to one of the best Upper Valley water drops, with the taste of winter. The brook even gave me a smile on the way home. The wide angle shots were all taken with a 10 stop ND filter (15-30 sec. exposures) and the close-up shots with a 200mm lens with 3 stop ND filter.
