Nice work with light and shadow #1583291

David L. Godwin 8/17/2014 11:57:38 AM

Thank Brad for the comment. That was the hardest part of this photo was balancing the dark shadows of the waterfall with the bright sun off the mossy rocks. I did not want to have to use HDR and so I worked the dynamic range as best as possible and did some balancing of tones and brightness in post processing.

Why the aversion to HDR? I use it a lot. I do appreciate how not using it on this shot makes it so much harder. #11110273

David L. Godwin 8/17/2014 4:15:03 PM

I like using HDR for a lot of situations but sometimes in nature landscape shots it can create unrealistic looking results. #11110276

Brad Winget 8/17/2014 4:20:58 PM

True, I see that a lot too. However if I am on tripod I will always bracket to give myself the option. Many times I have taken the sky from HDR and used the single shot to combine. #11110280

Eileen M. Joyce 10/29/2014 7:12:57 PM

This is lovely. But I wonder what it would look like without the blur. I think the color reflected in the water falling would also be interesting.
