Triple Falls
I've been in the Dogpatch area for the past few days and this waterfall is right down the road. It really is a site.

12 shot pano cropped square
24mm
f/16 @ 2.5 sec.
ISO 50

The rocks in the foreground give this B&W image almost a Zen like quality. I like the low perspective looking upwards at the falls.

Nice shot Aaron

I like your choice of a slow shutter - works really well with the B&W conversion. Beautiful work, Aaron.

I like the perspective you chose here Aaron. The multi-shot pano captures what one frame would likely fail to do. The strong contrast of the b/w conversion really comes through nicely.

This perspective and the B&W conversion also minimize the (to me at least) negative effect of the tree that's half washed over the edge between the left two waterfalls. Good call Aaron, it's a solution I hadn't come up with yet.

Great black and white perspective, Aaron.

Yes, very nice job. Very dramatic. One thing I might try to do is to get a little more tonal separation between the foliage and the cliff, probably by lightening up the foliage some. I think if you were to lighten up the yellows using the B&W conversion tool, that would probably do it. You probably could keep the cliff dark by sliding the red down an equivalent amount.

Nice mood. I like the perspective and how you got that whole log in the image. It makes a really nice anchor to the scene.

Good idea Randy. I already did some of that, but I might be able to push it more.

Thanks!

Aaron I went to Triple falls today. That log isn't much of a log at all it is more like a stick. I was very surprised how small that thing really is.
