Waterfall into Canyon

[Pete Van Hamersveld]

Interesting scene - looks like Pacific NW somewhere. Nice scene.

I realize that it would introduce some vegetation movement (esp. up close in front) but a slightly longer shutter speed would give the primary waterfall a smoother texture.

Up at the top of the falls and right at the edge of the image there is something dark that almost looks like an arm in a jacket. Very small but distracting once seen.

I like the overall tones and exposure. You're in a good location, but the bush in the lower left of the image is too pronounced in my opinion. It's stealing attention from the waterfall.

I didn't notice part of a body or jacket until you pointed it out. How do I delete and repost it? And Yes, I should try to keep a tripod handy more often and shoot scenes like this at a slower shutter speed.

Thanks for your feedback on this and my other postings.

A tripod is as necessary to a Landscape Photographer as wings are to an airplane.

For sure carry a tripod with you. I keep 3 tripods in the back of my jeep at all times, they never leave it unless I am using them. I will bring my cameras into the house at night, but my tripods just stay in the jeep.

Check out this Article, it also discusses using ND Filters.
