Took this picture of a family trying to walk under the waterfall in the Yorkshire Dales, England. All looks great fun, but the ledge was less than a foot wide, sloped, and made of small lose rocks which where in places covered in moss, wet, and slippery. Below was a drop of maybe 30 feet onto solid and jagged rocks. Would you take your young kids along here!!

I have been to the Falls before not on that ledge. Great picture. Wendy

No I wouldn't take my kids there, and I'm terrified of heights. LOL Fun shot!

Winter snowfall can make all around look so enchanting and beautiful. This picture was taken in my home county of Lincolnshire, England.

Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken in the Yorkshire Dales, England.

Time

It was taken Mid-Afternoon.

Lighting

At the time this picture was taken the sun was almost directly above so I hoped for no light wash out or light reflection on the camera lens.

Equipment

I used the `Fuji HS30EXR` camera to take this shot, hand held.

Inspiration

I was inspired to take this image not only for the power and beauty of the waterfall but also for the reason I found it quite ridiculous and somewhat foolish for the group of people (some which where quite young children) to walk along the ledge underneath the fall which was quite precarious and in ways endangering their wellbeing and lives if they should slip and fall around 30 foot onto the very hard jagged rocks below!

Editing

I slightly adjusted the sharpness, clarity, colour and saturation on this image.

In my camera bag

I usually carry a small `snap shot` type camera along with a bridge camera and various lenses.

Feedback

No advice with this shot except to say a slow shutter speed will create a `smooth water` effect where as a fast speed will create a more normal and realistic appearance of the water itself.
