Secret Falls III
Posted an image from this place in the MF thread, but I went back yesterday afternoon to photograph it with my 4x5. I wanted to get a more rectangular image than my 6x9 photograph so I could make a 16x20 print, and why not since it's pretty close and the weather was good. This time I brought my Chamonix and 72mm XL. I am considering titling this "Praying Tree" or something because the bare roots on the right looks so much like hands placed in prayer.
I tried to emphasize the similar, but mirrored shape of the waterfall and fallen tree. The tripod was pretty much as low as it would go and I was sitting on the ground to compose, and used a bit of front tilt and swing to move the plane of focus from the tree to the falls.
