Wispy Hilton Falls

The lighting was extremely challenging and the falls was a trickle.

There were no streams upstream and downstream! Used an

unusual technique to balance the lighting in-camera.

It turned out beautifully, Jeff!

"Used an unusual technique to balance the lighting in-camera." 

I'm curious what your unusual technique was since the result was outstanding!

Thanks Janine and Chris.  Chris, it's the "magic cloth" technique.  There are tutorials & such on the web.  Basically, I used a black cloth to hold back the exposure in the upper left, giving it about 2-3 seconds and the rest 15.  It's a bit of trial and error, but I was pleased with this too.  Regards, Jeff

Thanks for sharing your technique! It's very interesting. Kind of like dodge and burn in the old film days on the print.

Beautiful fall colors, great control of exposure. Was this bracketed?

Enjoy your work.

Hi Javed, this was a single exposure.  To control the light I used the "magic cloth" technique.  There is info and tutorials online.  Regards, Jeff

Good in-camera work and well thought composition, Jeff. The waterfall is beautiful, even if not at full power. Best regards. Peter
