How to Photograph Waterfalls - Landscape Photography

I’m happy to have found this video. Over the past month I photographed three waterfalls and hated all the images I took. It’s not the settings but the composition. I have been going in way too tight. I was at the point where I was going to swear off waterfall photography, chalk it up as something I couldn’t grasp. Now, I look forward to watching more videos and studying more photos from the pros. Thank you.

What a toss back.. As a teenager in the 60's, I lived about 3 miles upstream from Cedar Falls on Queer Creek on County Road 272 at the second farm on the south side of the road. That creek flowed through our barnyard. The State Park manager lived upstairs from us as the house was a duplex. Seeing the place and hearing the description how to select a composition was very enjoyable. I especially like the statement season to taste. As an amateur, I used to listen to what others thought about my images. I'm an old retired guy now and realize that the most important audience for my work is ME. Getting outside, exploring, improving your craft, all are so much more important than "likes". Having a clear explanation how to manage your image is greatly appreciated! I intend to view more of Jeffrey's videos to get what I find to be a great attitude toward photography!

This is a nice guide and you said it best, season to taste . Everyone wants a different image of how the water should look, and that is fine. One word about using CPL with ND filters: set the CPL first, as you demonstrated, then add the ND filter afterward. People may be surprised how little light passes through a 6-stop, and certainly a 10-stop filter making setting a CPL very difficult if that is done last.

Great video. So great I decided to subscribe your channel.

You have earned my subscription... very Informative. By the way....I can't stand thirds

Awesome info Jeff.Just waiting for my Maven Filter set to arrive! Just need a decent waterfall to try them out on 🤨

great video! how early did you have to arrive to avoid the crowd?

Great tips and images Jeffrey! Hocking hills?

Plan your shot....as my dad would say

Cedar falls with nobody there but you, unheard of.

You look sooo much like my brother. He was a photographer as well.

I have a crop sensor camera what lense would you recommend for waterfall and landscaping . It's a canon D7 mark ll. And does camera setting affect the crop sensor camera like the full.

Which falls is that? I know its Hocking Hills!

Video is too long, keep it short you get more subscribers. People don't have 50 hrs a day to watch long videos about the right settings and compositions. The user goes to another You Tuber and hears something totally different😂😂so most people just want the settings and a brief tutorial afterwards.
