Here is a small waterfall taken at Cold Springs Creek in Los Padres National Forest.

I'll thank Vaughn for the heads up on this great place.
I guess this might count as a waterfall.

Hi Brian,
It is a small waterfall indeed. I still haven't figured out how to attach larger files. I have tried to upload from my website but haven't been able to yet. You can see a larger version here.

It is always good to have the facts before making comment. I WAS going to say that I thought you overdid the filter on the second view. My first thought was that is was an un-natural color --- well I was wrong -- I guess it was a very natural color since you used NO filter. Really interesting light! And the panoramic view -- WONDERFUL!
It almost has a magical quality. Nice stuff!
Minnehaha Fall in Minneapolis MN last week! Taken with Chamonix 451N and 203mm Ektar on TMY. Printed onto Foma MG '131' paper.
mrladewig,
It dosen't bother you that +80% of your image is out of focus? One of the main reasons I shoot 4x5 is the ability to adjust the camera for maximum DOF. Maybe I'm missing sonething?

One of the main reasons I shoot large format is the ability to control the plane of focus. Whether that means total DOF or just a thin blade of focus through the image depends on what image I want to make. If I just wanted maximum DOF in every shot I'd just use a 35mm with a wide angle lens stopped down. Or a pinhole.
Carmac Falls in central Tennessee, property of a local bed and breakfast with an interesting mill on the property. Theres actually a second waterfall behind the trees on the right, even taller.

Nice shot Gary, did you end up getting the other shot too?
-Brian
No, I didn't. It would require wading into the middle of the pool to get it. One day I want to go back and do just that though. It's a really nice B&B.
wow, never saw this one. nice shot. i will have to go check it out sometime.

Very nice "offering" Nathan, I like it a lot. Funny enough, I think that cropped to it's intended size that keeping the mountain top out of it actually makes me focus on the falls a lot more. Great stuff!
-Brian
Thanks, glad you liked it.
This was one of those "lucky accidents" where the expired 55 became miss aligned in the process of pulling the "dark slide" hence letting the mountain and sky creep into the border... I have another shot which was as planned, but I like this one better :)

Hi all,
The images I've seen on this forum are truly inspirational!
These two are at Glenerie Falls in upstate NY. I'm "playing" with an 8X10 2-D and an old Darlot projection lens. The images were taken at dusk, so long (10 min.) exposure. I'm using paper (Kodabrome) as my negatives, and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Somehow I missed this conversation along the way. I wasn't trying to ignore. Thanks for the other comments on this. I was a bit nervous that this would not be well received.
It wasn't entirely on purpose that I have only the foreground flowers in focus. In this case, I needed to keep the shutter speed up somewhat because of the light breeze and f22 was the most I could stop down. The flowers were very close and scene very deep. In the field I thought this would cause a problem.
Then when I got home and reviewed the slides, I really liked the way this turned out. Like someone else mentioned, I felt that the flowers really jumped out, but at the same time the stream was recognizable. I thought it felt like a good approximation for the way we see the world and I'm planning to experiment with this idea a bit more.
Mel-
I agree, sometimes it is great to have everything in focus, but why do it all the time? I like the way that the flowers jump out, but I somehow feel that the falls could be even more out of focus, of course at this small size on the web its hard to judge, but I feel that as it stands here it is somewhere in the middle.. I am sure in a large print the oof falls look more oof than here on the web, but maybe even better if even more out of focus?
Regards, Nathan
I've had that happen to me too Nathan. Sometimes rocks and nature don't pay much attention to our levels.

This is at the end of the "Charles Darwin" walk and probably hasn't changed much since he visited in 1836.

Nice shot Mike, would that waterfall be on the little river that connects Lochan na h-Achlaise to Loch Ba or have you wandered further towards the rivers and lochans around Black Mount?
Cheers Kev, I'm wrong in saying it was taken at Rannoch Moor, it was actually taken just up from the Kings Hotel, I'm sure you know the place as you can see it from the road!
Some fantastic images here folks.
While not technically a natural waterfall, this is an old dam just north of where I live that's been reclaimed by nature now that it's no longer used for it's original purpose. Been there a couple of times and the water's falling from the top, so I guess that makes it a 'waterfall'!

Svartifoss, Iceland. An extraordinary waterfal cutting through a sheer cliff of black hexagonal basalt columns. The dark area to the right (in the original) is glossy black with water spray from fall. Take with a Fuji GX617, 105mm lens, Centre Filter and Yellow filter on Ilford Delta 100. F22 @ 1/2 sec.
No... your right Mike. The area around The Kings House is still within Rannoch Moor, technically the moor ends at the mouth of Glencoe under the shadow of the big pyramid of Buachaille Etive Mor (Stob Dearg).
Another view of Svartifoss - showing the natural amphitheatre of this location.
Below the weir on a little local river... need to get rid of the heavy black border!

Itty bitty waterfall. Maybe 5' wide.
