Gorge Falls
DIRECTIONS:
Gorge Falls are next after the Potawatomi Falls and are about a 1/2 mile further down County Road 513; the falls are located on the Black River on CR-513 north of Bessemer, Michigan.
DESCRIPTION:
From the double parking lot there are two trails; one leads to Potawatomi Falls the other to Gorge Falls. The photograph to the left was taken with a Nikon D200 a Nikon 18-135mm lens at ISO 100, 1/2 sec - F/16. All the photographs on this page were taken with Aperture priority and the white balance set to cloudy. The photographs on this page had the Exposure Compensation set to 0 EV.
The photograph to the right was taken from the viewing deck and was taken with a Nikon D200, a Nikon 18-135mm lens at ISO 100, 1/4 sec - F/11.
PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS:
Early evening is the best time of day to take photographs of Gorge Falls; however the later in the evening it gets the darker it will be as these falls take alight turn and have large trees around it. The middle part of the day is not a good time as the sun is high in the sky and one would need to photograph directly into the sun. Remember to not only bring a polarizer filter but use it. Also, when the sun is high and bright lower the EV setting down to -1.7 or further depending on how bright it is. One can blur the water by Lowering the F stop to F/11 to F/13; however much lower could cause the background to become out of focus, this would also depend on how high the ISO is set to.
