Here is the last image from the Upper Provo Water fall series. This side view shows more of the waterfall and less of the rock than yesterday’s version. These photos were shot late in the morning the sun was high in the sky. There was a slight cloud cover which is why there are not many shadows. Even though there was cloud cover to achieve this look you must keep the shutter open for a short amount of time. To achieve this in mid day you will need a solid tripod, a cable release is also good, and a polarizing or neutral Density filter or both. There is no way to hold your camera steady by hand for several seconds and get the photo absolutely crystal clear.

Just remember the next time you are out taking photos look around there is always more then one way to photograph a subject.

The Specs.
Iso 250
32 mm
f/22
1/3 of a second exposure

I like how the water drops off the rocks and immediately heads towards me and then turns away.
I like the light framing of the water by the rocks on each corner.
I like the misty water.
I would like the center water to have a little less blow out area. I may fix this in photoshop.

Thank you for visiting my site. Let me know what you think.

On a side note I went to the studios of http://www.reflectedpixel.com today and did a props photo shoot of the table arrangements of my daughters wedding. In the next few weeks I will share those with you.

This is the same waterfall as yesterday. I have actually ran this one three times. The first view was on December 16th. I will have one more view tomorrow. Each view gives the falls a completely different look. This version shows the water digging its path through solid rocks. It also shows the water tumbling off the rocks at different locations.

So next time you photograph a subject remember to walk around. Each angle provides you with a completely different photo.

The Specs.
Iso 100
24mm

1.6 sec

I like how the water cuts through the picture at an angle.
I like the silky touch of the water.
I like the rocks.
I would like to have more of the trees in the background.

The weather outside in Utah is terrible right now. I am excited to get out and take a bunch of winter photos in the next couple of days. In the meantime I decided to do a short series on the same photo. For the next couple of days I will look at this waterfall, but each day it will be from a different perspective. Many times the photographer is looking at a great object, but they shoot the photo from the wrong perspective. If you are always looking straight ahead you may not get the best photo. Not looking at our subject from many different angles limits the possibilities.

This photo works for me because the pine trees frame the main subject.
I would like for the pine tree on the left to be a little darker.
I like the waterfalls.
The framing does point the eye towards the water, and the water draws the eye to each waterfall.
