Some images taken during a Fall visit to White Clay Creek Preserve in Southeast Chester County, near the Delaware border.
I had a great walk along the Penndel Trail, which is on the Western side of the White Clay Creek (East Branch).
Hope you enjoy!

I was very honored to find that one of my Fall captures had been selected by Manfrotto as a Featured Image on both Facebook and Google+!
I can really and honestly say, that I could NOT have done it without you!
Thank you again!

Equipment Details
Some images taken during a late Fall walk in the Natural Lands Trust’s Peacedale Preserve in Chester County, PA.
There was a weather front moving through while I was there, which allowed for some very interesting cloud and lighting conditions, and several times, I was able to see some Crepuscular rays.
At one point during my walk, I encountered a real old-timer.
In the middle of the Preserve, there is a huge beech tree, at is 3-4 feet in diameter, and easily several hundreds of years old!
I don’t think I have ever seen a monster like this!
I was also extremely surprised with all the wooly bear caterpillar that I encountered. (Predicting Winter Weather: Woolly Bear Caterpillars)
During my walk, I had to avoid walking on over a dozen of these critters!

On Friday the 18th, I had a chance to drive around again looking for the Fall colors.
Here we are, over halfway through October, and there still is a fair amount of green still in the trees, but in other places, some of the trees are already bare.
All these shoots were taken using my Canon 18-55 IS using both two Tiffen Neutral Density filters (1.2 & 0.9) at f22+ for 15 to 25 seconds.
I gotta find me a ND filter in the 2.1 range. My 3.0 is too much, and I do not like having two layers of glass on the lens…
