A photograph of a fabulous waterfall in Scotland...I've been to the area many times but didn't know it existed. It doesn't look like much from a distance but closer up it is multi-faceted with lots of different flows and many compositions...

The shot shown consists of three rows of five shots (total of 15 shots and makes for a 550Mbps file for printing large - kind of a personal shot for me as I love waterfalls). All frames taken at 70mm, f29 (to get a nice flow at 1/3 second and also to deal with the tilt of the falls), ISO50, 5D2.

C&C most welcome.

Stunner, I love the black and white too. Also like the fact that theres nothing in the image to give away the scale of the waterfall.

Hello Ian.

Beautifully shot and the B/W works perfecly for this image.

I glad you said lots of compositions I cant stop looking at the different ones I would love to have a go at.

Hi thanks for the feedback. It doesn't look too good in colour as there is a kind of green slime behind the falls (its a tacticle reason its in B&W but to be honest looks better this way IMO). The scale isn't shown but it is a reasonably big fall. I think depending on the water levels and flow you'll be able to get a different shot everytime. I'll see if I can find a shot with some colour in for you.

Thsi is beautiful - very delicate effect. I like it very much, and the monochrome treatment really works.
