This past weekend I explored Thompson Falls for the first time. Had I known how beautiful this waterfall is I would have made a point of photographing here sooner. Located a short hike from the parking lot at the Wildcat ski area in Pinkham Notch, this is definitely one of the nicest waterfalls in the White Mountains.
More a series of falls rather than one single plunge, Thompson Falls seemed to go on and on. The higher I climbed the more there was to see. Give me a drizzly overcast day and I could easily spend 4-5 hours here photographing. Sadly, I had to cut this first visit short on account of darkness, but I have every intention of returning soon.
These images are but a small sample of what this series of waterfalls has to offer. With the relative ease of the hike to get here I will certainly be adding this to the itinerary of upcoming waterfall workshops.
For those interested in knowing, all of these images were captured using my Fujifilm X-T2 camera with the wonderful XF10-24mm lens. For all of the images I used Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters, a circular polarizer as well as a 4-stop ND filter, all mounted in the Firecrest 100 filter holder.
Looks a fab area, top photo , my fav.
It definitely is. I can’t wait to sped some more time here. A lot more!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Colline.
Fascinating cataracts undulating ever higher must have been an irresistible visual temptation. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Had it not been getting dark I would have continued climbing up the falls as far as I could go. Fortunately I’ll be up there again this coming weekend with a private workshop client. I plan to allot plenty of time to explore. If we’re fortunate enough to have an overcast and drizzly day we could easily spend an entire day here.
