White River Waterfalls

Thanks John. I am reminded of an internet post by a young woman who said that the only time to take a picture of Delicate Arch in Arches National park is the late afternoon or evening because it would be back lit in the morning. It seems like she is missing an opportunity to take a photo exposed for the arch and another for the sky and then blend the two. Perhaps more than two photos would need to be blended. One thing that I am learning is that the air movement around the rushing water of a waterfall always causes the foliage in the area to move and if you take a photo at a fast shutter speed to stop the foliage action you will most likely have water movement that is too fast for your liking. I look forward to taking this photo again. I think that I understand enough to do a better job in the area of that pesky brush movement in the upper right hand corner next time. My husband listened to some u tube advice from a photographer who said to plan your shot, get your composition right, set your camera for the conditions and then take the photo. While we were in Yosemite with very limited time we were rushing from one spot to another trying to capture as much as we could before the light was too harsh. My husband said, “I say the best way to get a good shot is to run around like a chicken with it’s head cut off, look at the photos on the computer when you get home, see how you could have done better and then go back and do it again.” Since I love to travel I think that may not be bad advice.

I think this looks great. The lighting is superb. That waterfall is on my bucket list and I have not made it there yet.
