Eagle Cliff Falls, one of Mother Nature's well-kept secrets hidden in Havana Glen, just outside the town of Montour Falls, New York. After a few minutes hike along a well-defined trail, we stumbled upon a magnificent 300+ degree amphitheater like setting, with 100+ footwalls carved out of layers of rock. This 50 foot waterfall was flowing while many other Falls in the area had barely a trickle of water. The picture was taken with a tripod mounted KODAK DC4800 Digital Camera, using 3x Optical Zoom. The camera's Advanced Exposure Mode:Manual Shutter Speed feature made it possible to capture the awesome beauty of this waterfall, by manually setting the Shutter Speed to 1/4 second, with the Aperture set at F8. I used the DC4800's 3.1 MP Hi Compression image mode for a picture resolution of 2160 x 1440. Photo taken by Tim Hack (United States) - Nature
