Title: double falls
Post by: Jeremy Roussak on October 10, 2015, 02:27:19 pm

Longish or very long? I'm torn.

I like the rocks and ferns better in the first one and I like the water better in the second one.

[For all I know I might like the water at a fast shutter speed.]

I prefer "-ish" to "very."

(I must admit that at first glance I thought you were asking about the length of the image, but once I determined that they are both framed exactly alike, it finally sunk in that you meant shutter speed. Doh!, as Homer Simpson would say.)

In the first, the texture in each of the falls differs significantly. I see what Bruce means about the rocks and the ferns in the first one. What about blending the two images left to right? Right side, first frame. Left side, second frame. That way you don't have to be torn! ;)

Something like this, you mean?

This was the fastest I took (0.1s): I'm not sure I like it.

(The others are 0.6 and 30.)

Increasing the contrast and a slight bit of sharping make the fastest one look wetter to me.

I like this kind of image and I do long exposure if I can find a waterfall that is photogenic. Both are fine in my eyes but if forced to choose then number two, but there isn't much difference between them. Jeremy you should be happy with both of them.
