Took about a trip yesterday today (well I guess yesterday now) to a waterfall. Let me know what you think.

These are absolutely gorgeous! The third one just seems sort of awkward, in the framing, but otherwise I'd say just get out and shoot more :)

thanks. yeah, it was actually just about the only framing I could get because of the surroundings. the 'small' fall in the bottom of the picture is actually like a 20 foot chute... and all the rocks around it were wet... so not many chances to move around to play with more compositions.

All three are nice with #1 the best one for me.. I know that it is the "fashion" to shoot waterfalls the milky way but personally I would like to see a little bit "wilder" water. It is a tad too smooth for my taste - especially in #3 where the bottom/secundary fall looks unnatural.

I agree with Henk - #1 is the winner. The foreground element is nice and sharp and really accentuates the depth of the photo. Nice composed


cheers, Paul

These are great. I can't resist a waterfall and long exposure. Well done!

thanks! i had my CPL on with a .9 ND, so 5 stops of filter to get this. They were about 8-15 seconds usually. i do plan on getting a BW110 soon myself, but i think ill get a GND first. the 5 stops seems to do enough for now.

All are really good but the first one is definitely my favourite. Love how the sharp leaves contrast with the flat water surface and smooth waterfall. There must have been no wind at all to get the leaves that sharp with such a long exposure!

Nice one

#1: Seems underexposed a bit. The leaves in the foreground are a bit distracting. Love the long exposure to smooth out the water.

#2: Comp is OK but this one seems a bit under exposed too.

#3: Best one of the bunch IMO. Again maybe a bit under exposed. Good leading element with the stream. Nice and sharp (as were the others).

The photos look beautiful. The colors are very vibrant (even on my work monitor - crappy TN)

Actually quite the contrary.

If nothing else, I should applaud you for your diligence in posting irrelevant and counterproductive drivel. You really do have a talent for it.
