This is a list of all the large waterfall pictures that I have on my site. I (Peter Chapin) took Most of these pictures. However, some of them, as noted below, were taken by others. These pictures are intended to be my best. You can find smaller versions of many of these pictures, as well as additional pictures not represented here, on the description pages of the falls.
Photographing waterfalls can be difficult. If you are interested in trying it, here is some advice I might offer.
My favorite pictures are those of Hamilton Falls, Moss Glen Falls, Old Jelly Mill Falls, and Doane's Falls.
Bailey Falls [130 KBytes]. Nice picture of the full falls. This photo is a little too yellow. My friend John Bedard is standing at the base of the falls for scale.(Description)
Bartlett Falls [104 KBytes]. A relatively large falls on a significant river. I took this picture with the wide angle lens. It shows. (Description)
Bash Bish Falls [157 KBytes]. This photo was taken by my friend John Bedard during one of his road trips. It was a 4x6 inch print making for a larger image than those made by my usual 3x5 inch prints. It's a nice picture, however. (Description)
Bingham Falls [111 KBytes]. This is a picture of the main part of the falls taken in the summer. The pool below the falls is very beautiful, but this picture doesn't convey that as well as I'd like.(Description)
Bridal Veil Falls [133 KBytes]. This is a nice picture of the upper falls. I had to scramble up some rather slippery, moss-covered rocks to get this picture, but I think it was worth it. (Description)
Campbell Falls [135 KBytes]. This picture was taken directly across the ravine from the falls. It doesn't show the full falls, but it still makes them look rather impressive. I had to lighten all of my pictures of Campbell Falls significantly using software. (Description)
Campbell Falls [129 KBytes]. This picture was taken from the bottom of the falls. It shows both the lower and upper portions. The lower part is actually a good deal smaller and closer than the upper part, but in this picture they almost look as if they are of a similar size. (Description)
Campbell Falls [135 KBytes]. This picture shows just the main (upper) part of the falls. It gives you a nice view of the rocky ravine surrounding the falls. (Description)
Campbell Falls [95 KBytes]. April 1997. This picture shows the full falls. Film: Kodak Gold, ASA 200. (Description)
Doane's Falls [83 KBytes]. April 1997. This is the last of a beautiful series of waterfalls along Lawrence Brook in Royalston, Massachusetts. This is one of my better pictures, but it is marked by a slight scratch across the center. I don't know the people in this picture, but their image is published here with permission. Film: Kodak Gold, ASA 200. (Description)
Dog's Head Falls [110 KBytes]. The Lamoille River grinds its way through a stubborn rock formation. (Description)
Glen Falls [149 KBytes]. These falls are located in a deep, dark forest glen. I took this picture in early April. The main falls are covered with a very interesting ice formation. (Description)
Glendale Falls [146 KBytes]. The upper part of a large and interesting falls complex. This picture gives you a good feeling for what Glendale Falls is like, although it doesn't begin to show you all there is to see. (Description)
Glendale Falls [141 KBytes]. A side view of the midsection of the falls complex. In low water you can walk right out onto those rocks. Very nice. (Description)
Glendale Falls [145 KBytes]. The lower section of the falls. The edge seen in the distance is not the top. All the falls shown in my first picture is above that edge! (Description)
Glendale Falls [154 KBytes]. One part of the lower section of the falls. This was taken when the water was relatively low. It's a nice shot, but it would have been nicer with more water. (Description)
Hamilton Falls [134 KBytes]. Very nice shot of the falls at high water. This is a very impressive waterfall. (Description)
Kinsman Falls [136 KBytes]. This shot was taken with a telephoto lens and is quite nice. The falls are not actually all that high, but this photo makes them look rather impressive. (Description)
The Falls of Lana [137 KBytes]. The falls as seen from above. It's a very interesting waterfall, but the vantage point of this photograph does not do it justice. (Description)
The Falls of Lana [137 KBytes]. The upper falls. There are really two falls in this picture, one behind the other. These falls are above those in the first picture of the Falls of Lana (see above). (Description)
Moss Glen Falls #1 [119 KBytes]. Very nice photo of a photogenic waterfall. It's not quite centered because I had to avoid getting the annoying boardwalk in the field. This was taken in late autumn. Note the ice around the fall's edges. (Description)
Old City Falls [120 KBytes]. The main falls at low water. Very graceful. (Description)
Old City Falls [112 KBytes]. The main falls at low water seen from the side. This picture isn't quite as clear as I would like, but it's still decent. This picture was taken on the same day as the one above. (Description)
Old City Falls [143 KBytes]. This picture was taken during the wet, rainy summer of 1996. The water is high and the falls are beautiful. (Description)
Old Jelly Mill Falls [143 KBytes]. This is a nice photo of gentle falls flowing through an autumn forest. (Description)
Race Brook Falls [143 KBytes]. A view of the lower falls. This is only one of a whole series of beautiful waterfalls along Race Brook. It's a very impressive place. (Description)
Race Brook Falls [151 KBytes]. The upper falls. The water churns down a narrow chute. (Description)
Royalston Falls [95 KBytes]. April 1997. This waterfall pours into a deep, circular chasm. A nice picture despite the overexposed foreground rocks. Film: Kodak Gold, ASA 200. (Description)
Smalls Falls [142 KBytes]. This is the main falls as seen from across the pool at the bottom of the falls. I took this picture from the walkway just on the other side of the bridge from the parking lot. I'm sure everyone who visits Smalls Falls has a picture like this one. (Description)
Smalls Falls [144 KBytes]. This is the upper portion of the falls as taken from the rocks above. None of the action in this picture is visible in my first one. However, the smaller drop in the background of this picture is displayed in greater detail in mythird picture. This gives you some idea of how extensive these falls are. (Description)
Smalls Falls [112 KBytes]. This is a section of the stream above the major part of the falls. Smalls Falls has quite a few drops and, frankly, I rather like the more obscure, less visited upper ones. The extreme contrast in this picture was a challenge. The water is very over exposed, but it's a good picture anyway. (Description)
Step Falls [112 KBytes]. This is a nice overview of one interesting section of the falls complex. The stream divides into two delicate sections that flow into a large, deep pool at the bottom of the picture. This picture was taken at a time of unusually low water. (Description)
Texas Falls [115 KBytes]. View of one part of the main falls at low water. This picture gives you a good feeling for the gorge through which the falls flows. In higher water it's quite an interesting sight. However, in higher water, I doubt very much if I would be able to stand where I got this picture. (Description)
Umpachene Falls [94 KBytes]. April 1997. A rather nice waterfall in south-western Massachusetts. This is just the upper section. The lower section has a similar height. The bright, sunny day makes for an energetic picture. Film: Kodak Gold, ASA 200. (Description)
Wahconah Falls [199 KBytes]. High water makes for an impressive waterfall. This picture was taken by my friend John Bedard. (Description)
Weathersfield Road Cut Falls [144 KBytes]. This rather nice falls appeared unannounced in a road cut along US Rt. 5 in Weathersfield, VT. My daughter Hillary is standing beside the falls. (Description)
Windsor Jambs [120 KBytes]. The river churns in the gorge below. This picture was taken from above and doesn't look like much. (Description)
