Just a few "water" shots from todays meet

Gerry hard at work


Lower falls


ND filters in action


HDR

The HDR one looks pretty good and natural - it really helps with that very dark shelf on the left (which in mine was almost black).

What is interesting is your waterfall images are all landscape whereas I ended up choosing portrait ones. I'll have to go back and look at my landscape oriented images now

It is a shame that I couldnt prevent the water from blowing out (I may have another play though). Yes it is strange that mine a predominantly landscape....

I like the last two best in this set.

Cameron, I actually like the first the best of all these, and not its not cause my butt is in the shot! It has some very nice complimenting elements (read fern, rock and water) and the PP is just right - I would only suggest maybe dialling down the highlights a bit.

On a side note, yes that position was very uncomfortable and my butt is still sore.

what post processing? That is straight out of camera and resized! I should go back and dial back the highlights a bit though now that you mention it.

whats your in camera 'optimize image' setting?

ISO 200, Standard Colour (lvl 8 Sharpening), Cloudy WB.

Here is an edited version....-1ev then shadow protection, cooler and more saturated colour

Water is a bit hot in the HDR version..might want to dial it back a bit a bit.
From a compositional perspective, I'm liking #1 (the rework looks better) you've got Gerry sitting on the thirds cross which may account for his sore posterier.. and #2..Just luv the colours of the feature rock in #2 which you have brought out well. Whites are well controlled in this one as well
