The drought is over, waterfall shots at last!!

Not the best weekend to go out but Sunday I pushed myself despite the drizzle, showers and grey skies. I visited a small fall near Malham, Janets Foss, which despite being close to the road I had never seen. Lots of spray heading to the camera though so a bit tricky....and why is it people insist on having a damn picnic in the rain in your shot? Luckily I got a few minutes alone

A slight discolouration from the 105mm cheapo CPL I am using to test out the Lee holder. Lee holder is great...shame about the CPL.

i love them all except the last one. the last one i feel it was a bit over board with the "water effect" or whatever photographers call it. the water just looks too fake for me.

Cheers, I liked the contrast of the redish branch against the green mosses, the white water just added further depth. It was a bit too dark to get a fast shot of the water, without upping the ISO too much anyway.

Gotta go with the second one. In the larger image, I like how the detail in the fallen tree comes out in the foreground. Lots of interesting bits of color in there. I feel as if I can almost reach down and touch it!

However, for some reason the fallen tree doesn't work for my eyes in the first one. When I first saw it, I couldn't figure out if it was part of the river bank or a tree extending over the water. I see it better now after viewing the second shot, but for some reason it still kind of distracts me a little. Maybe I'm just a little weird.

1 and 2 is great, I love them. Now to dry my screen...

I was just looking in your flickr , some very nice photography there Neil , i especially loved the..river in Merano shot , the detail is awesome man.

Anyway,back to the subject,more water eh ?
I like the second one,nice colours (the Neil trademark) and lines.

I like #2 best. The angle of the tree trunk leads the eye into the frame nicely.

I really like #1 too, but the foreground tree trunk is quite imposing.

The tree is there as the area around the fall is a little barren and the shot I wanted to take right in front was impossible due to the spray coming stright down with the breeze. Cheer Jim.

Wish I'd had my tripod in Merano, the water was a great colour and the ice on the rocks...oh well. Cheers D.

Seems to be people are not keen on my choice of foreground I can feel another visit coming on

Here is one taken level with the fall, the rocks are quite barren and colourless, hence using the tree trunk as a feature.

I like them all, but #2 does it for me. THe only thing on number too that is a little distracting is the on the fallen tree there is a little bit of mist hovering over it. Other than that, nice composition and overall shot.

The water was swirling around where the tree dipped into the water. Cheers

I think these are all great shots Neil. I hope to take such nice pictures one of these days! Your last one you posted with rocks in the FG is my favorite!

Nice shots Neil, number 2 is my choice, but can't help thinking the bit of swirling water on the log kinda distracts the eye.

lovely shots Neil - number one is my favourite

keep em coming

All very nice shots Neil but that last one just blows them all away. Fantastic shot, I love the green and how close you got to the water. feels like it's flowing off the screen, a really winner.

Great shots Neil, love the rich colours. Just wish I had waterfalls around here
