I don't know about you, but to me waterfalls have the same effect as a campfire - time just seems to slip by staring into them.
Here are three from yesterday. Kerry Little and I hiked up Spencer Gorge from the bottom to get to the base of Tews Falls in Dundas, Ontario - a 41m (135ft) waterfall over the Niagara Escarpment. Many possible photographs along the way, with many cascades and a natural river valley.
These were done using a D800E and a polarizing filter. It was a bright sunny day which didn't bode well for this kind of photography. I used the
Photographer's Ephemeris to plan on being there around noon when the lighting was best for the waterfall. It turned out well because as the sun drifted westwards, the rock behind the falls picked up more and more texture. For about 20 minutes we just stood there, making photos as the wind would blow the falling water into different streams - mesmerizing.
I included the fourth photo just to give a sense of place.
