Tennent Falls, NY

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 9, 201075 views7 comments

After a week of temps pushing 100 and high humidity, things broke enough to get out to my favorite water fall in the southern Adirondacks of NY. Due to lower water levels, was able to take this shot from a different angle to include the FG cascade. Cannot do anything with the branch, center right, as it is attached to a 40 ft tree.

D5000 f/22, 0.4 sec, ISO 125, 18 mm, CP filter, tripod.

Thanks for looking and comments appreciated.

Nice soft light. The branches don't bother me. The rock arrangements look man-made? There is something here that just doesn't work for me. Others may disagree.

The layers of rocks, water and cascades is well arranged in the composition but as Philip states above it doesn't quite pull together, perhaps lacking in a good focal point.

Hi Greg,

I agree with the previous comments and there is a sensation that leans slightly towards the left ?
Also, the shutter speed gives a super effect to water and its movement..Bravo!!!

Nicely captured. I didn't even notice the branch until you pointed it out so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think a slightly longer shutter speed and more detail in the forest would help this one.

I don't know if it would have been possible to get a lower perspective at this location, but maybe that would help the comp out a bit. To me, the open water below the main falls just doesn't add much. I like your SS speed, and the green foliage is a very nice contrast to the rocks. This just gives you an excuse to keep going back and trying out different comps

Greg,

This is certainly a nicely captured scene; the point of view takes me right there. I also really like the flow of the water, especially at the bottom with some very nice texture.

The rocks do look man-made, but I'll give you and the scene the benefit of the doubt here...

And the branch doesn't bother me too much. It's really nothing that a little tree saw would take care of. You know, anything less than 3" in diameter is fair game....

(JUST KIDDING FOLKS!)

A lovely scene Greg, but doesn't keep me engaged for too long. I'm assuming though that you spend some time here as it looks like there is quite a few opportunities about.

Instill some vibrancy to those greens, and burn the LRC some to balance the darkness in the forest and provide some vignette to hold the viewer in, and this will have a great deal more initial impact I think. There are already an abundance of really wonderful details to explore.
I checked out your "Gallery". This is a HUGE improvement over your earlier post of the same waterfall in my opinion.
