That's better we can see it properly now - WoW you have done well here - perfect setting for a waterfall shot. Light is a difficult thing in shots like these. Did you try a flash? Not a built in one as I don't think that would work. Keep them coming. Cheers, Bernz

I think waterfalls can be difficult. This one is pretty good, I have found that the time of day that you take the shot can make a huge difference. I think if you go back at a different time you will see what I mean.

We have gotten to where we either go before 10am or after 2pm so that my "light" is right on the waterfalls. Or if I'm really lucky, I would rather go when it's cloudy/overcast. Plus it's cooler if you have to hike a bit. Sometimes I get moaning and groaning because the kids like to get in the water, but they really don't care as long as they can get in at some point. Of course mom's gotta get "her" pictures first! Especially if they water's clear...by the time they (and the dog) get done, it's typically not the same color it was when we started!
