Post Your Waterfalls

[h2oman]

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).

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.

I'm still on the learning curve for LF, but here's one of my local subjects - Cucumber Falls at Ohiopyle state park (in PA). Cambo 4x5 with a 135mm.

Exceptional tones, and very well done, for someone who is on the curve...

Thank you! This is a location that photographs well, no matter how I screw up. Admittedly, these are neg scans as I haven't had a chance to print them, yet (still looking for a 4x5 neg carrier for my enlarger and not really wanting to buy new).

This one is a work in progress. Was shot on Astia with a Fuji 125 NW.

You have some neat images here! Did you use any filters on these or are all those great saturated sunrise/sunset colors from the Velvia itself?

Thanks Brian,
The far left image is unfiltered, with the colour coming form the blue sky overhead and some light reflected of yellowing grass nearby. 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.

Here's another one from Ricketts Glen. A beautiful place for waterfalls. 90mm on 4x5.

Love this. Glad to see color work on the forum. So much b/w (not that it's bad), but it's beautiful seeing the gorgeous colors of nature and anything really. Nice lens, too. I've got my "filled with air" Fujinon 105 SW waiting for my cam coming soon.
