p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Different angle on a waterfall


Normally when shooting waterfalls I avoid sunlight at all costs. That's not always possible of course. This time I decided a different approach. I shot directly into the sun! I tried this with a low angle and a fallen tree to go for something unusual. I bracketed shots and did some exposure blending to pull off this shot. I like the result but I'm curious if others will as well and if you guys have any thoughts / suggestions. I always get great feedback here! Thanks in advance!

I think you did pretty darn good. The light on the rocks and falls is stunning. Great shot and im glad you stepped out of the box

Hey Todd,

Very nicely done here! I really like how you worked the sun and the shot. If I were to do anything more it would be to eliminate that one round flare below the sun. It might take a little bit of work, but I would lose that.

Nice take on this, like it alot.
I like the the s/s as it lets some of the energy of the water be shown
While I would try to fix the flare mentioned, I think the image is good with it.

Thanks, all. I'll ponder the sunflare. So far I kinda like it, but maybe I should take it out. Hmmm.....

I like the idea and the execution but the great light on the rocks to the right keeps pulling my eye off the waterfall. Maybe cropping 20% or so off the right (I know it's a great part of the image) would draw the attention to the waterfall ?

The sun coming over the top makes all the difference. Good eye.
