The Texas Rainforest at Gorman Falls


Here's another view of Gorman Falls taken during the Texas Landscape Safari at our first shoot in the Colorado Bend State Park near Lampasas, Texas. After a long dry summer the spring that feeds Gorman Creek was very low and the falls were barely running this autumn. I'm looking forward to better photographic opportunities during this spring's workshop after a (hopefully) wet winter recharges the aquifer.



Gear Note: This was my first shot taken using the Singh-Ray Vari-ND-Duo combo filter and I couldn't have been more pleased with how it performed. The Vari-ND-Duo is a combination of Singh-Ray's Vari-ND variable neutral density filter and their LB warming polarizer. Being able to control the exposure and polarization in this situation was critical to obtaining the overall effect I wanted. The Vari-ND-Duo made this much easier than trying to achieve this by stacking conventional filters and offered me very granular control over my exposure. Way to go folks!
