Waterfall photography

These photographs were made this morning at Chittenango falls in Madison County New York. The falls are near the town of Cazenovia.

Some tips: it is always great to go to waterfalls either during a very light rain after it's been raining for several days or just after the rain which was today's case. The water is flowing and you have an opportunity to make beautiful photographs

The camera should be secured on a tripod because of the slow shutter speed required

The aperture should be narrow about F 16, polarizing filter should be used to reduce glare from the rocks and deepen the color of the water. The shutter speed depending on the ISO used. In this case, ISO 100 needs to be slow between 3/10 and one second long.

A cable release or in the absence of that, using the timer mode of two seconds works just fine for this type of photography

The editing of these photographs was done in one of my favorite iPad applications, Snapseed.

Snapseed allows you to create a wide color dynamic range to bring out details from the shadows and really cause the image to pop, if it is not over done..

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do, Jeff
