Post Your Waterfalls

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?

The flowers are in focus -- your eye goes rigth to them. Sharpening up all the water would have pulled your eye away. It is really an interesting presentation!

I agree. If the background were in focus, it would be at the expense of the 3D effect, and the wildflowers wouldn't stand out so sharply in comparison.

a very wet and moody day in Lanbedris pass, wales, uk.

Very cool effect, I like this a lot.

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?

[Gary Beasley]

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.
