Weekend in West Virginia

I spent the weekend at a Joseph Rossbach workshop held in Blackwater Falls State Park near Davis, WV with a great group of folks (hi to Kate, Mark, Michelle, Rob, and Sue!). The photo above is an ice cave that Joe had found, formed by a wall of ice from melting snow running off a ledge above and then freezing into large sheets of ice. This shot is at the midpoint of the ‘cave’ looking to the opening at one end.  Very neat place to shoot in.  It’s hard to tell the scale here but the ice wall was at least 8′ tall.

That was the big ice above and this is a much smaller piece of ice.  This shot is a close-up of the patterns formed in a single ice sickle about two inches wide, taken with a macro lens.

On Saturday evening we trekked through some deep snow to Pendleton Point for sunset.  The image above was taken with a telephoto lens looking down into Blackwater Canyon as the river reflects the color of the setting sun and sunlight highlights the tops of some of the trees along the river bank.

I still have some images to go through, so more from this weekend to follow.
