Well, we have moving water, but I figured I'd start something specifically on watefalls themselves. That and the fact that the other is getting pretty long as it is. This collection of waterfalls is from Ricketts Glenn State Park in Pennsylvania. A few may look alike as I shot them at different times of day and from different angles. All images were taken with a Horseman Woodman 4x5 field camera on a Gitzo tripod/head combo with Fuji Velvia 50 and 100. Thanks for looking!

Burned out, detailles waterfall or running water images make me want to throw up.

I'm sorry if my images are unappealing to you, but there is no need to insult another person like that. To say that you do not enjoy them is one thing, but to say it that way is a little on the rude side. I like to use this forum to show my work and see what others think about it. That and learn how to make my images better the next time. I know I'm not the prolific photographer that a lot of people on here are. I am always open to constructive criticism, but not insults. I hope to one day be as good as you all, but until then having "criticism" like that definitely doesn't help anyone or anything.

Aender, great stuff, I love those waterfalls that come down in a million different directions like that. Jon, I love the lighting in that. Ole, I love the look of your Van Dyke print - very cool. Looking forward to seeing more work from ya'll!

What an awesome image. How exactly did you do that? I mean, did you just shift the image from top to the bottom of your front standard or did you use a drop/raise bed method? I can't wait to make it out there, I'm going out to CA to visit my family in November and am definitely going to Yosemite while I'm there. Anyways, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Brian and John. I used a 270mm G-Claron on a Wisner 4X5. I used massive shift keeping the lens and film plane parallel for all 3 exposures. That G-Claron would cover 11X14, so 5X12 is easy for it. I did this in 7X17 also that day but this triptych works the best. I have it printed in 3 11X14 panels at my home.

If I offended anybody in particular, I'm sorry that they took it personally, but this ain't the Leica Forum on Photo.net where it doesn't matter what piece of crap someone posts always gets rave reviews. It was not intended personally.
If you're gonna post it, you better be prepared to get harsh reactions from someone who disagrees with your aesthetic taste. What I think of an image doesn't matter as long as the creator is happy with it for him/her self. That's all that really matters, but I think that I have a right to express my contrary opinion.
Also, I don't like water levels which aren't horizontal (unless it was intentional), and expressionless people standing in front of a visible backdrop, with their arms hanging at their sides like a zombe "This is a piture of me gittin my piture took."
Flame away -- I've already had a really shitty day at the clinic and can take whatever abuse you wish to throw my way!

That one from the Columbia River Gorge is really nice. You used an unusual and creative composition, and the diagonal bands of light on the rocks to the right of the falls are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, the image is as much about the fall of the light as the waterfall. And it is the type of light that carbon printing expresses very well.

If you're gonna post it, you better be prepared to get harsh reactions from someone who disagrees with your aesthetic taste.

There's a difference between saying "Hey, I hate that image. Maybe next time you should attempt to get detail in the water" than saying "That image makes me want to throw up". Have at least some form of tact and maturity. Try and maybe, I don't know, suggest what you think could make an image better instead of outrightly insulting someone that you don't even know. Not everyone is the perfect photographer you are. Some of us are still learning and use this forum as a place to learn. Don't whine and say how bad of a day you've had and somehow justify what your attitude. Poor you. If you don't like these images, please, feel free to read another thread instead of wasting your time looking at these images wanting to throw up.

I agree with you that the comment made in that way was rude and uncalled for. However, if you can get past the rudeness there actually is a valid point in there, i.e. the highlights in your photographs are blown out, at least they look that way on my monitor. Assuming the monitor and your prints look about the same, part of the problem is that most of your photographs were made in very bright, contrasty light. It's difficult, often impossible, to make technically good color waterfall photographs in that kind of light because the contrast range is too great for the film to handle. Black and white photographers can sometimes get away with it by exposing for the shadows and reducing development time to bring down the highlights but that's more problematical with color film. The other possible problem is that you're just over-exposing in general by about a stop because there are a couple photographs that don't appear to have been made in sunlight yet the highlights in those are blown out too.

Hope this helps. You have some very nice compositions so you obviously have a good eye, it's just a matter of maybe getting your technique down a little better or choosing another time of day to photograph waterfalls.

27-Aug-2008, 11:36
Now that is what I am looking for, thank you.

At least on my monitor - and it's calibrated (X-Rite) - only one of my images is completely blown. I've made a few prints and I have detail in the water in all but the the third one. A couple have some detail, but not as much as I'd like. And yes, I did learn an important lesson about shooitng Velvia 50/100 in very high contrast situations. Obviously I'm going to have to try different films, like Provia, Astia, some B&W film and maybe even some C41 to see which is best for the way I shoot.

Coming from doing digital panoramic images to film has been a learning curve. With regular 4x5 I've gotten pretty good results with waterfalls, but I'm having some issues the 120 side of it for some reason. Now, when you say it's overexposed, I think that may be because my scanner and how I'm editing the image. I'm having a hard time getting the colors I want (IE The colors I see when I look at the actual transparency itself) and as I edit them, the details in the highs seem to go away. In the transparency itself, I see a good amount of detail in the water in my images, with the third one being an exception. I'm getting a Velvia IT8 target, so hopefully I'll be able to rescan with better results. For now, though, I'm stuck with my Ektachrome IT8 calibration, which is WAY off. Either way, it might just be a combination of the way my monitor and scanner are calibrated, as I am seeing detail in most of them on my monitor and when I make prints. I guess we'll see when I get the new IT8 target. Once I get that I will hopefully have better scan results ending up with less blowing out of the highlights.

Thank you for the input, if you have any other suggestions, please respond here or pm me, I very much appreciate any help or suggestions you can give me for shooting watefalls, as that is my current "pet project". I'm always looking for more ways to accomplish the same goal from any of you. That is, after ya'll are done throwing up. :D

Thanks!

Do little baby waterfalls count? I mean, it is water, and it is flowing quickly in a downward motion. It may not be grand enough to cause someone to throw up but it is certainly capable of causing a tummy ache. :rolleyes:

When I first began frequenting this forum I posted something and Bill made some kind of reply that I found slightly offensive. Since then I have found that he is just the forum curmudgeon, and I usually read any comments when I see his name attached to them. For entertainment at the very least!

I wouldn't really consider this forum a photo critique site. If you want good constructive criticism, Brian, for the kind of work you do and admire I would suggest the Nature Photographer's Network. People here are nice and appreciative, but folks using that site have lots to say about composition, filtering, processing, etc.

Finally, and this is just my opinion, I find that the best waterfall shots are either "extractions" of small parts of the fall (ala Jim Kitchen's shot), or shots that show the falls in a significantly larger context (see Vaughn's Columbia Gorge shot).

27-Aug-2008, 15:12
eh, you got a point... I'll just post what I think is good as many other do the same thing. If they like it, they like it. If they don't, they don't. I've seen plenty of stuff on here I'm not fond of, as I'm sure that some may think the same about my work. I just don't tell said people that their work makes me want to throw up. I guess it's just a class issue. I'd rather just show my stuff and see others as this thread was intended to do.

Second from left is early evening light with some light added using a maglight, no filter. The panoramic is again blue light from the sky, and light reflected of a reddish rockwall just outside the frame. The last image is in shade, with a 81D added to moderate the blue a bit.

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. (http://www.miguelbernalphoto.com/4x5galleries/4x5pages-gallery3/page3.html)

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!

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.

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?
Gale

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

Lovely tones, and I really like the way the light is illuminating the leaves in the background... is it me, or an optical illusion, or is the whole thing leaning to the left?

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'!

Attached are two images of White Water Falls, just on the border between North and South Carolina. In terms of volume of water and height this is one of the largest falls on the east cost. The original negatives were made in 1982-85 on Ilford FP4, and were printed on silver gelatin paper. Recently I scanned the negatives and the attached files are of digital prints, 12X17" in size. I have also printed both images in carbon.

This place has been a favorite hiking area for student of Clemson University, which is located abot 30 miles away , and quite a number of students have died from slipping over the edge. Many years ago one died the same day i was photographing the falls.

This was done with a Century 8x10 and a 'virtual 5x7' back (I cropped it when I enlarged it) with a 210. Unless I have a DOF concern, I usually open up to my favorite f-number for the anticipated format. So, f32 for 5x7 on this one. If I know I'm going to crop all the way down to 4x5 I'll shoot at f22.

7-Jul-2009, 17:43
you have to change the resolution in photoshop (or other)....

if photoshop make sure the "resize image" box is checked.

change resolution to 72 dpi....

next change the box with 1997 pixels to 650 pixels.

When done, make sure you save your file AS A DIFFERENT name or you will lose your higher resolution file. Jpegs work best, save as a quality 10... (make sure it's under 150kilobytes.

This was the 4x5 image that convinced me I had made the right decision by breaking down and buying a LF camera. It's a bit underexposed, but on the light table it looks fine, and I just love it. I'm not sure how I would have done it differently in the same light conditions without blowing out the waterfall. I guess one of those specialty Grad NDs would do the trick. But I think its just a matter of time of day. If I was there a little earlier in the morning I most likely would have been able to brighten the scene up a bit without losing too much in the water. Good times though.

Sandy,
Nice shot!
I've seen it suggested that higher contrast images make for the better examples of carbon printing. I think the overhanging tree and all the leaves in this image would make an interesting texture in a carbon print. How do you feel this image rates overall as a "go/no-go" choice for carbon printing?
This is the type of photo that I would be interested in printing when I finally get past the reading phase of learning this medium.
Thanks.

I've seen it suggested that higher contrast images make for the better examples of carbon printing. I think the overhanging tree and all the leaves in this image would make an interesting texture in a carbon print. How do you feel this image rates overall as a "go/no-go" choice for carbon printing?
This is the type of photo that I would be interested in printing when I finally get past the reading phase of learning this medium.
Thanks.
Chris

Chris,

This would make a very interesting carbon print because of the detail of the leaves. The challenge with printing this image in carbon is in hitting exposure just right so you keep some texture in the delicate highlights of the water itself. The challenge with carbon is that you are working with a straight line process with absolutely no shouldering in the highlights, so there is zero tolerance for exposure in the highest highlight. Too little exposure and the highlights are bald, too much and they are dull.

On the other hand, an image like this is a piece of cake to print in palladium.

So called "giant waterfall" in High Tatras, Slovakia. It asctually is really high (about 20m) when it is not frozen :) The picture shows just a small part of the waterfall.

Jim,

Thanks for the compliment. This is one of my favorite images of the waterfall area of North and South Carolina, and one that I have hanging in my own home in a place where I often see it. The negative is actually one of my very early ones with large format, made in the early 1980s when most of my photography was done hiking around in the mountains. This particular negative was never printed in B&W until last year, though I made at the same time a color slide which I printed in color way back when. But recently I was asked to contribute some of my work from the area for a small exhibition and I went through the old negatives and found this one. Since it was to be printed small I scanned it with an Epson 4990 instead of the Eversmart Pro, and it turned out very nice with a little work in PS.

It seems to be that one of the advantages of large format sheet film is that we make a rather limited number of negatives and the memory stays with us longer than with MF film and digital. So even without extraordinary efforts to file and save we generally know where these negatives are in case there is a need to print one of them, as happened here.

Dear Sandy,

You are welcome, and your comments are very true... :)

It seems that when I review any image that I captured previously, I do remember a few moments that surrounded that event, whether they were humourous, enlightening, thrilling, or not, and when I review my notes the memories become more vivid. It's funny, at least for me, how visual images can trigger dormant brain cells, even when an image is older than dirt.

It's possible that latent patterns in the image are triggering your memory, in the same way that a scent or smell can instantly transport you back to your childhood.

Here's a mid-river waterfall from a hike last Sunday along the Plessur river;

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 really liked your image, very different, that is what makes it so cool, when i first saw it, i was scrolling down, and as i was scrolling i was thinking, "wonder why its out of focus" then i saw the flowers in the forground, then i thought, "wow, cool concept." again nice work here.

Just for the fun of it...I was going through my old negatives the other day and came across this 4x5.

From about 1982, using a Raja field camera and a Computar S 210/6.3 lens. The wonderful young lady was my girlfriend of the time (and is still good friend) and we had backpacked up into the Trinity Alps of California (Canyon Creek).

The pose is a little awkward, but that was her.

Here attached is the Cascade waterfall at Virginia Water in Windsor Great Park.

Unfortunately, I chose to go when school was out and the whole area was running alive with kids. Including some no older than 6 or 7 years old who were prancing around on the top of the falls. Being man made, the water has little force behind it but the stones were slippery and the drop was about 25 feet. No kids were damaged or drowned but I think it was pure luck.

I focused on the stones by the water center in this picture, but this shot, the only one I took is slightly soft, I don't know the reason presumably I kicked the tripod :-(

Foma 100 ⅛ sec. f11. Processed in Retro Pyro scanned on Epson 4990 apart from duo-tone and a couple of spots/hairs removed and image re-sized no other Photoshop work was done.

"this shot, the only one I took is slightly soft, I don't know the reason"

If you examine the negative with a loupe, you will be able to determine whether the blur is due to camera movement, or loss of critical focus.

Sometimes we tug on the cable release (and move the camera). Sometimes we don't tighten the camera after focusing, and during the process of loading the film holder, the focus shifts enough to cause a noticeable blur.

Well, technically, this is a waterfall, albeit a partially constructed one. This is the spillway and the spillway channel of the New Croton Dam in Croton-on-Hudson, NY, built between 1892 and 1905; the spillway is very cool here in that it curves around from the end of the dam and heads upstream for about a thousand or so feet, leaving a series of rocky ledges to serve as the spillway channel. The channel is mostly natural, though the engineers at the time called for a couple of plateaus to help dissipate the energy in the falling water.

The single span deck arch bridge is not the original, but it was replaced in kind to replicate the original.

It is a fantastic dam, and wonderfully available to the public for those in or near the Hudson River Valley; even on a dreary day with flat light, it is difficult to throw open a shutter without getting at least a decent picture. This is a quick snapshot with a Crown Graphic pointed upwards, Ilford Delta 100. I'd like to go back sometime, and set up a shot decently. Until then, this will have to do.

Nice feeling of light -- light overcast?

The use of the long lens and the reversed lighting (light on the bottom, darker background -- eliminating any sense of atmospheric distance) has flattened the image a bit -- except for the lighter rocks in the immediate foreground that do have some 3D feel to them. One has to visually crawl over them to see the creek (a good thing), but my eye is not invited to look anywhere in particular (there is a slight tendency to follow the creek back, but my eye is always pulled back towards the lighter rocks in front.)

These falls are on a small creek in south-central Oregon, called Deep Creek, between Lakeview and Adel. Look up the location on a map - it is pretty far from anywhere! The creek goes over some nice basalt columns to form the falls. It is often too dry this time of year to be interesting, but I caught it the day after a rain.

Well, if you are interested in waterfalls, go to Silver Falls State Park, near Salem. If you walk a loop of about 4-5 miles you can see 8 or 10 waterfals (I can't remember exactly). You can also see a number of them by parking in different palces and taking a number of much shorter walks.

I cannot agree more, I went to Silver Falls State Park in the spring of this year to photograph waterfalls. I got a number of images using both Velvia 50 slide film and Kodachrome 25 slide film. I would post them here, except that they were not taken with a large format camera. I'm pretty new here and not sure if it's OK to post images taken with either a 35mm or medium format camera.

It's a beautiful place to go and I highly recommend it for taking images of waterfalls.
At this time of the year, rain is highly likely, so I would advise you to bring your rain gear.

Do fake waterfalls count?
This is in the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Feel free to teach me how to get the odd shot without that rainbow flare... :)

Rakesh and Sam, thank you very much!

It is indeed an awesome place! Even with the lower autumn flow, there is much power in evidence.

Maris,

I like this one a lot. The exposure duration is just where I like it for flowing water, not too sharp and not too silky. The light on the background is also very nice. Lots of detail and texture.

I can't recall if I've posted this one before; if so, feel free to berate me at will. Herewith Sutherland Falls on Otter Creek in Proctor, VT; I was there to get some photos of the hydroelectric plant just on the other side of Otter Creek, beneath the Vermont Marble Company mill, and the falls just happened to get in the way...

Tower Falls, Yellowstone National Park. This was from a couple of summers ago when I first started my transition from color to shooting and processing B&W film.
