Waterfalls Revisited (Photocentric)

It's been a little busy this week, so I didn't have much of a chance to get anything other than my Google+ Project 52 shot that I posted on Monday. I did literally revisit the nearby waterfall as kind of an "Oh yeah!" moment. It has been raining a bit lately, and I wasn't really equipped to be scrambling over slippery rocks, so I got a couple shots from a safe viewpoint. I'm hoping to get back there this weekend, if the weather permits.

If you look at the water now, as compared to the last time I shot it you can see the recent rain has made this fall a little more powerful. Without a tripod I wasn't able to try and blur the water, but I'm not sure how well that would have turned out anyway.

Forcing a Photo

Image
A decent, but VERY processed shot **Disclaimer: Today's post is kind of long.** I recently decided to try my hand at a competition I saw on Google+, the +10000 PHOTOGRAPHERS 1st Contest - Natural Water Photos  being put on by  +10000 PHOTOGRAPHERS . There's no tangible prize except notoriety on what some think is a ghost town  social network. Shortly after having made the decision to enter this, and deciding I wanted to use a new photo for the competition,  Digital Photography School published this post  about dynamic landscapes by +Todd Sisson . The post itself is a teaser for his newly published book Living Landscapes .  Featured in the article was this image which instantly caught my eye.

Monday, as just about everyone knows, Apple gave a peek at a couple of its updates in the operating systems arena, both mobile and desktop. Most people knew what to expect in the first half, OS X Lion is coming in July. And although I knew what most of the updated stuff was going to be I still found myself wanting to update right then and there. I mean why wouldn't you? It's $30, and I don't have to run down to a store to get it. Actually, I couldn't if I wanted to, but that's another story. But it's the second half of the presentation that was more, interesting, if you're an iOS person.

HDR Waterfalls

Image
It should be no surprise that I took some bracket shots of the waterfalls from the other day. I'm not so happy with the HDR shots as I was with the normal shots, which for me is a little strange, but I think the blame goes on me, I rushed the shots. Note to self, and other photographers, don't go to a shoot with someone who's not a photographer, you'll end up feeling rushed even if they're in the car chatting happily on the phone oblivious to your shooting.
