Location
This photo was shot at Elakala Falls located at Blackwater Falls State Park. After patiently waiting for me to finish shooting, this fellow photographer waded on in to find just the shot he was looking for. Before leaving I decided to snap a few more with him in the frame.Time
Early morning, just after sunrise. I almost always shoot waterfalls in the morning light.Lighting
As most folks know the best light is found at dawn and dusk. I typically choose to shoot at dawn.Equipment
Shot with a Canon t3i, Canon Efs 10-22 lens (which I recently dropped on the ground and shattered) , Vu filters polarizer being held in place by a MeFoto tripod.Inspiration
This is one of my favorite location at Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virginia. I can only stay away for a couple weeks before something inside me draws me back.Editing
Slight editing in Photoshop PS6 and touched up with Lightroom.In my camera bag
I use a Caselogic slingbag and go fairly light. I tend to jump around around a lot and don't need to be weighed down with gear. Camera, lens, Vu filters and not much more.Feedback
This is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in my home state of West Virginia. It's not that difficult to get decent shots when you have something this beautiful to work with.
