I have discovered that shooting falls on an intensely sunlit day is a true challenge. There is only so far you can crank down the aperture or
slow down the shutter speed. Sometimes it is a constant changing one this way and the other that way trying to find just the perfect combination of the two.
I did that for two days last weekend while I was hiking and finding falls to photograph. To some frustration and disappointment. On my way back home, I stopped at one last waterfall. It was early in the day. It was foggy and overcast. Voila....the shots came a lot easier. The flush of the water flow wasn't all washed out and blurry looking. Instead, it seemed Mother Nature had laid a silk blanket over the hillside, creating a magical, mystical view that mesmerized even the simplest of viewers.
Rushing water is very difficult to photograph and bright sunlight can make anything hard to photograph. Glad you tried one last time - your picture turned out great.
ReplyDeleteI have no digital photos of the U.P. The last time I was there I was still using film. Great area for photography - hope you had fun.
