#nd filter

It wasn’t snowy and it wasn’t too cold, so I spent the afternoon taking photos of the falls.

I’m always looking at the different textures of leaves and rocks when I’m taking photos. I try to provide a few shots grounding the viewer with the little things in my immediate surroundings.

I set up my tripod down river and caught some softer long-exposure shots of the water.

The ND filter I used gave a tinge of a violet overlay, especially on the rocks there.

I love the way these long-exposure shots catch that probably of bubbles and trickles forming a soft cloud.

The rapids downstream from the waterfall formed interesting shapes, especially with the long-exposure.

While I was there, of course I needed to give some attention to the actual waterfall.

I experimented with my color settings to show that contrast with Valley Falls and its iconic center stone.
