Waterfall Photos

OK...couldn't resist. It's a great thread so here's my favorite...



This one was taken near the mouth of the Lester River just before it enters Lake Superior. It was taken in early fall just as a hint of color change was occurring but most of the canopy was still green...and bright green from several days of drizzle and rain. The green hue was not very noticeable in normal time but was a surprise on the LCD screen after the time lapse to get the water flow. I enhanced it just slightly in Lightroom but only about 3 points on the saturation scale, which is what I do for most of my images. It's remained one of my favorites.

Great thread!

Really great waterfall in Ireland. Only got a few usable shots because I forgot my tripod that day.

How do you get that silky water look?

Slow shutter...about 1 second or longer. Tripod is a must. Also best to use a neutral density filter versus just shutting down your aperture to the smallest it will go to get a slow shutter.

This is a photo I took about 6 years ago of Yakso Falls in the Umpqua National Forest in Oregon. I was just goofing around with the camera and really didn't know what I was doing, but I love the way the water spreads out around the rock. I'll have to go back for some more shots now that I'm a bit more experienced!
