Finally got lighting cooperative enough to photograph this small waterfall and pool the way I want it. I admit to pushing a couple of these in Lightroom a bit to accentuate the sense of drama in a serene setting that I hope to convey. Yes, those are water spots on the filter...it was rather splashy. Originally I took them out, but then put them back in since it conveys something of the physicality of the place.
Of course I have to do one black and white version -
And now for the total perspective vortex (fairy cake not included) -
And a really cool detail giving the illusion of a lone tree silhouette and star trails -
All taken with the E-30 and the amazing ZD 12-60mm lens mounted on my 25-year-old tripod. A polarizing filter brought out the best in the pool itself, eliminating the harshest of the glare. A couple friends buzzed on by me in search of more and better things downstream and missed out on what I consider to be a great location and one I hope I've done justice to. Thanks for checking it out. Comments welcome.
