Kevin,
This particular falls is near Ozark, IL (way down in the southern tip area). We have several really nice waterfalls in So. IL.

I've wanted to head that way and see the Cypress swamps, the furthest I've been hiking/camping is Giant City State park. Thanks for looking!

Either that or take a separate picture with the sky properly exposed to add in adobe when you're home. -Tom Dragonetti

A CPL should buy you another stop That's pretty much it, although I didn't adjust the curves. Sadly, as I'm still fairly new to photography, I'm also new to Photoshop!!

There was probably an easier way to do it, but goodness knows, if there's a hard way, I'll find it  Check this out if you would like some quick and easy pointers for doing some basics on photoshop--great video tutorials.

May 17, 2006 11:25 | #25 Tkanks for all the tips, comments, etc. to date. It has all been very helpful. By the way I did have ND and polarizer filters both on when I took the picture. I think the camera was set to F/8. I was trying for as long as shutter time opening as possible for maximun flow effect. Next time I will do more experimenting.
