As we rounded a bend this opening in the trees appeared of Tahquamanon Falls. Shot early morning just after a rain storm (You may make out water on some of the pine needles but it's tough this small.) What would you have done differently? Thanks, JB
p.s. The orange in the water is from Tannin. It's an organic material leached from the swamps of the Tahquamanon watershed and is a natural phenomenon.
Hey Thanks Thibault for the comments. The UV Filter is something I pretty much leave on the end of my lens. I tend to shoot in nasty weather and I keep it on there to keep my lens clean more than anything else.
I agree and appreciate the overexposure comment, it is bright at the very base of the falls. Whenever I head up to the UP, I always feel compelled to stop here and take a couple shots, this was one of my favorites from the area.
Thanks for the comments, and especially for having it be something more than (Nice Shot!) ;) JB
This is a nice picture. The trees provide a nice natural framing for the falls a make it jump to our eyes. the color and light is nice especially the one falling on the middle trees in the background.
Knowing you used iso 100 film and a polarizer (but why bother with the uv filter ?), you might have used one of the lowest speeds available like about 1/15th. If I could get here, I would have tryed to get to even lower speeds, like about 1 second, with a ND filter and lower speed films. Without any ND filter, it is still possible to make a pretty nice pic before or after the sun.
But care would have to be taken to avoid over-exposure. I find your shot a little bit overexposed with some lack of detail on the highlights on the fall. I would probably underexpose the shot a little.
