Illusive waterfalls

Slow shutter speed

Faster shutter speed

We three adventurous photographers (Hetty, Sherry and I, and Hetty's daughter Isaline) set out to find waterfalls to photograph - with little success. We traversed the road, following the directions, back and forth a few times - unable to locate the necessary landmark that would lead us to the woodland road that would take us to the foot of the waterfall. Buried under snow, the old graveyard on Keirstead Mountain was nowhere to be found.

Undaunted, we headed to the other side of Sussex to Waterford where waterfalls can be seen from the Cedar Camp Road bridge. Of course, to get truly dramatic photographs you need to be at the bottom of the waterfall. New Brunswick hasn't experienced the truly bitter January temperatures (yet) so as a result, the streams and rivers are still open, and the waterfalls flowing - but the paths to the bottom of the falls are ice-covered and too treacherous to chance without proper climbing gear.

So, we contented ourselves with a few shots taken from above the falls on the bridge. Despite our lack of success in nailing those waterfall photographs, it was a good outing for a sunny afternoon in winter.
