Scalebar Force near Settle, Yorkshire Dales

This is the main cascade of Scalebar Force near Settle in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, England. The falls are 2 miles from the market town of Settle and are hid away in a narrow gorge just at the side of the road. Its a very popular spot for photographers as someone had kindly left some arranged leaves on the foreground boulder!

Nikon D80/Nikkor 18-105mm VR lens, ISO100, 2 sec exposure at f-22.

    The portrait view showcases this so well and I love the positioning of the leaves on the green covered rock in the foreground which leads you into the shot nicely. The many number of cascades and falls are very impressive (and must have been a joy to witness) and the water movement captured perfectly.

    Am amazed by these water shots, have only had a small basic camera before but am waiting for delivery of a Nikon D40 so hopefully i can learn how to do these shots, its magnificent well done!!

  • Steve Liptrot replied

    Thank you very much. Your new D40 will give you excellent results if you steer clear of the AUTO modes. Dont forget your tripod with shots like these as the exposures can be a couple of seconds. Look forward to seeing your results.
