My first waterfall picture and I am please with the way it turned out. But it looks grainy to me, which is mostly in the scan b/c the print is much better, but still a little grainy. Any ideas?
The photo looks a little grainy (as you said), also is a little desaturated looking, and slightly washed out looking (all of which I'm going to assume came from the scanner, if it caused the grain as well, nice scanner? or inexpensive?) Otherwise fairly nice, possibly a wider angle lens, if possible, there is a rock just along the right side of the frame that I find a little distracting, the way the photo sits now, I wouldn't say crop it out, but maybe with a different lens choice it could have fit interly into the frame, or the shot shifted left to get it out of frame. Not a big issue, I just find it mildly distracting.
One other thing you might want to consider for future waterfalls (this is a total preference, and what kind of look you want thing) but that is to make it a longer exposure, sometimes even say 1/30 second or so will do it, but it causes the water to all blur together, again depends on your preference and what you want from the photo.
All in all a great shot, must be some nice falls, I already want to go see them in person thanks to your photo, keep it up.
