Under the Forgotten Falls


newfocus

A 15mm fisheye shot at the base of Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales. Once a huge Ice Age waterfall but now dry, apart from a little trickle of water emerging from the base.Three exposures were combined to handle the contrast but there was no computer aided distortion or stitching applied (not that I'm particularly against that stuff, but it didn't happen in this shot).

Malham Cove - once a huge Ice Age waterfall but now dry. Shot with a

15mm fisheye standing under where the falls would have been.

 

Any feedback welcome.

Makes me feel like a frog with sunglasses ;-) Great use of the fisheye , highly interesting scenery and perspective ! And well handled dynamic range.

Did you use a tripod for aligning bracket exposure composites, or did you fix the motion shift from handheld shots in PS/ with stitching software ? Just curious

Hi Carsten,

 

Thanks for the comment. I took three shots on the tripod, being careful not to move anything.

I like this idea. I know Malham very well and have been meaning to take a shot from the base of the cove for years now. It seems now I don't need to. An excellent composition and I think the rectangular black frame helps a lot too. I have several shots dating back to the seventies from the top of the cove but none from the almost garden like pasture at the bottom. It would be a good idea to try a similar thing with Gordale just a mile or two away. Excellent Regards Ken.

Thanks Ken,

 

I didn't make it as far as Gordale when I was there but have it in mind to go back this autumn some time and get some more shots.

 

cheers,

John.

A very refreshing view on the cove John, I do love the use of the fisheye here.

My only niggle would be the patchy sky but I do understand the technical difficulties involved

in getting this picture at anytime of day.

However its a cool angle and I think it needs cracking but I can't think of a solution to offer just now.

 

Cheers

Steve.
