I try to get out and shoot like this as often as I can, but given the hectic days, it can be hard to find several hours with which to really focus on shooting.&nbsp; Too often, I shoot in short 15-20 minute bursts when I get a chance, and this is often when the light is less than stellar.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, with my time, I headed down to Hocking Hills State Park in the southeast quadrant of Ohio.&nbsp; I got there just before dawn and was able to hike through the gorge and get a fair few decent photos.&nbsp; I brought my Fuji system along this time, shooting with my X-E1 with 14mm f\/2.8, 35mm f\/1.4, 55-200mm f\/3.5-4.8 and my Rokinon 8mm fisheye.&nbsp; Here are some of my best shots from the trip.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2560\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2560\" style=\"width: 616px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/admiringlight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/bathtub_gorge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2560\" alt=\"The Devil's Bathtub - Hocking Hills State Park, OH - Fujifilm X-E1 with Fujinon XF 14mm f\/2.8\" src=\"http:\/\/admiringlight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/bathtub_gorge.jpg\" width=\"616\" height=\"932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/admiringlight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/bathtub_gorge.jpg 616w, https:\/\/admiringlight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/bathtub_gorge-198x300.jpg 198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Devil&#8217;s Bathtub &#8211;
