Chasing waterfalls last night....got a few to process but thought i'd quickly post this if I may.
Taken with the 18-55 kit lens @ 18mm, handheld, f8, 1/10th sec and Iso 200.

Steadier hand than I've got.
Nice comp and powerful realistic sky.
Lens handled good DOF good at f8.

Great capture, well exposed.

Very nice! I plan on going up there myself soon.

How did you get onto that side of the falls? I've never really explored that area much but I've only ever been to the other side of the river!

What can I say...well presented, well exposed, nicely processed the colours look very natural and a sky to die for! If this sets the standard for Highforce then I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us with Bleabeck force. Well done Ken it's a stunning shot.

The water over the falls looks thunderous evidenced by the colour.
beautifully composed shot, nice, well done.

Not often we get such a powerful sky to accompany such a powerful force.

Impressive shot Ken.

Hope you've got some more.

Well balanced image, that water definately puts the Force into High force falls eh

Are these the High Force falls that are in the Yokshire Dales? Tried to get there last year, but unfortunately, it fell off the intinerary.

Excellent shot there.

That's a stunning image, Ken Did you get wet? Judging by the sky, it looks like the heavens were about to open!

Thanks very much for all the comments, appreciated as always.

Hi hollerz....if you park in the HighForce carpark, instead of taking the normal path along the river....just a couple of yards down the hill (main road) is another gate heading down quite a few steep steps. At the bottom of those steps and following the field brings you to a bridge allowing you to cross....down river takes you to LowForce and up river to HighForce. Carrying on past HighForce, you can also take in Bleabeck falls and Cauldron Snout....I look forward to seeing your shots.

Thank you very much.......A huge compliment from someone of your talent and skill with a camera. I wouldn't hold your breathe for those of Bleabeck though.....although they are better than I originally thought after taking them.... I think a second visit could greatly improve on those I currently have.

I have seen pictures with both sides of the falls flowing, with the rhs being nearly as strong as this here. With the introduction of CowGreen reservoir some years ago now, it's not as frequent.....but is still prone to flash floods and, in the likely event...the gates at the top of the falls are closed. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe there was a helicopter rescue took place just a couple of weeks ago when a father and child got stranded in the middle of the river???

So do I Cameron, although I don't think they would be up to the standard of this site. Not had much time to process any others but after just having a brief look through them, i'm not that confident....especiall​y after seeing David's Bleabeck pics

These falls are on the River Tees near Middleton-in-Teesdale County Durham.

No Trevor, it's all about timing, that and a fast pair of shoes..... I have been to HighForce 5 or 6 times this year already, although this time not specifically for HighForce and every time I have experienced either snow, hail, rain or strong wind that I am now accustomed to the very quick changeable conditions around that area.
Thanks again for all the comments.
Ken.

Whoops, thought I replied earlier
