Tully, NY and Tinker Falls

Tinker Falls, outside Tully, NY
What better way to spend a Saturday than to do a little hiking and nature photography?  That was my thought today as I set out down I-81 S from Syracuse to Tully, NY.  I've been to Tinker Falls, which is just past Tully into the next county many times, and I always enjoy the experience.  This time I decided to photograph using only my 15mm wide-angle lens.  Each lens really offers something different.  I often photograph with a telephoto and enjoy utilizing its shallow depth of field.  Recently, though, I've been interested in making pictures that include a lot of detail and a deep depth of field.  The 15mm is perfect for this.  I had fun getting muddy and wet today and spending some time in nature.  Please enjoy taking a look at some of the photos.
