    Adam, you know I’m a sucker for the water shots! This is excellent and nicely handled. Difficult lighting conditions to achieve this result!

  • Thanks Kevin. I debated whether to upload this one or not cause it’s not one of the better shots of this on this day, but I figured what the heck give it a shot.

    excellent Adam……………great control

  • Thank you. All you need to have is a tripod, a polarizing lens and the patience to bracket your exposures on the dark side.

    I have yet to explore time exposures. I always envy shots like this. Beautiful silky water flow well captured and the light dancing in all the right spots is the icing on the cake. Nice work!!

  • Thanks so much. This waterfall was shot in the early morning. The sun comes from the right rear and gets parially blocked like this. My favorite little feature is the baby whirlpool to the right center. You can see it better if you view larger.

    Lovely water flow under, what looks like very contrasting light situation. Great job.
