Thanks, Zach!
Hi All. Haven't posted for a while - I have been very busy on other things. it's time we got these waterfalls back on page 1!
Here's a recent pic of mine from Carnarvon Gorge National Park in Queensland, Aust. This place is called Moss Garden.
Velvia 50. Chamonix 45n-2, Nikkor 75 with CIR polarizer @ F32. 9 mins exposure.

That's right Stef good to know you don't get a cast with 9min from my experience with 35mm on a 30 sec exposure I get a bit of green cast which I can easily correct guess its a larger format so the results maybe different. The reciprocity for velvia is also so poor and yes we should catch up.
Well my last waterfall didn't arouse much interest. Lets try again!
This one is from Binna Burra in Lamington National Park in Qld, Aus.

Just amazing Stef this is one of the best waterfalls I have ever seen.
I think both are very great. But this last one has amazing clarity and color.
Both are real nice, Steph, but the second one is special. Nice work!
Here's one from Wildcat Creek in Yosemite...

Nice shot Preston. I found the Yosemite waterfalls very difficult to capture. But I was there only for 3 days and in October so there was not a lot of water. Although the granite had a lovely golden sheen to it. I like your composition. I must get back there one day!
This was my rather poor attempt! In my defence I had to fight for space with all the Germans trying to have a swim!

Another waterfall of mine. Am I the only one who likes waterfalls?
This is Fern Pool in Dale's Gorge - Karijini National Park, Western Australia.
I am experimenting with super-panos. This is made by stitching 2 4x5" Velvia 50 frames together. For a massive 2.5x1m image!

These are two images of Nevada Falls I made in Yosemite NP this last Aprill 22nd. My images were captured at the same locations Ansel Adams made his images - (His were made 66 years prior to mine) - I don't make a habit of knocking off other's images - but I can't afford to buy his prints - so I capture and print my own.
Great one, Boinzo! Amazing colors.
Large format panos are very criative processes. I started with this one, also an waterfall:

Both Very nice! There is, or at least used to be, a big rock down in the mist area under Nevada that seemed to have a certain presence about it. I tried to work it a couple of times but never got it. Working on getting a waterfall at Shiprock but it's tough. They only last about three minutes.
Here's a couple of winter shots of Yosemite and Bridalveil falls. I never print them, but I gave it a shake while I was there.

Thanks! It does need work. I would like to keep some detail in the rock over-hang at the top of the frame and pull a hint of texture out of the sun-lit water. And I have to see how the light balances on each side of the falls when the image is reversed during carbon printing. Looking forward to working with it!

Preston: I haven't been to Wildcat Creek in Yosemite since I was there with a group in the Ansel Adams workshop of 1973! I'm sure I photographed that same area with my Hasselblad on a tiltall tripod. Nice to see it again.
Boinzo: I took my daughter up there in the summer and the crowd was amazing. My daughter dropped her sunglasses off that spot you are in and I worked my way below into the water to retrieve them. I came up with a double handful of dropped sunglasses! Thanks for posting. Hope you get another trip to the Sierra.

with a 360 tele-Nikkor.
For a first attempt - well done - Hardraw is a difficult subject.
Hardraw is much better if you can catch it when lit by sunlight (from about 10:00 till 15:00 ~ ish - the sun moves left to right in the shot) - the column of water really sparkles in the sunlight and the overhang is emphasised.
For what its worth I have had many attempts over the years to shoot Hardraw and never yet been fully satisfied - although there are many worse places to spend a day watching the light change

Very nice, Peter.
Thank you, Jim.

Aysgarth Falls, Yorkshire Dales, UK. 8x10" TMax 400 in Rodinal. Scanned on Epson V700 scanner, small amends in Lightroom. By the way, the scan is far sharper - I uploaded this to Facebook and then to here and they must have their "photo ruiner" filter turned up to max.
The most swing I've ever used.

Welly and Alex some nice images from you both.
Ok, a waterfall; Yosemite Falls, obviously. Bender 8x10, with Turner Reich Triple Convertible, 12 inch. I think it's all right, but not what I was hoping for. I haven't really liked much I've shot with this camera and lens. I find I prefer the 4x5 with a Schneider Symmar.

I feel like I'm failing at scanning the slide; the scan lacks the richness and color depth of how it look on a lightbox, argh.
