Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

The actual name is Triple Falls. Went there for the first time today, can't wait to go back with the tripod.

Notice the people at the top left of the falls for some perspective:

From the top side of the falls:

Thanks to Nikon Capture I was able to fix the white balance, since I forgot to do so. Had to push the speed due to it being late in the day.

Hey Jeff,

I really like the angle and perspective in the first photo. That downward angle into the pool at the bottom is interesting.

G'day Jeff,
Beautiful spot, it's great to have some perspective too sometimes especially from that angle... Would be nice spot to hike down to the bottom and shoot from the base...

Great idea! After looking at the picture more closely it looks like there is a steep trail down to the bottom. I will have to experiment and see if I can get down there.

As for having people in the shot, in the past I would try to wait for them to move out of the photo but just earlier in the day I had read an article in Outdoor Photographer about the use of people in a picture to better show how large/small a scenic shot is. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
