It's one of my favourite waterfalls. This is one of the earliest images I have made here. Quite peaceful in summer but a totally different beast after heavy rain !

This is a photo of Cauldron Falls in the village of West Burton in the Yorkshire Dales.Time
From what I can remember I think I took this photo around mid morning.Lighting
Although it was a bright spring day the trees that surround the falls offer beautiful shade, making the sky behave like a huge soft box which provided me with lovely diffuse lighting conditions.Equipment
Canon 7D Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L Manfotto tripod Lee landscape filtersInspiration
I love waterfalls and I had been wanting to photograph this one for quite some time. It is particularly spectacular after heavy rain fall. I wanted to show the smoothness of the water as it flowed over the drop so I used a big stopper filter and the bulb setting on my camera.Editing
The image was shot in RAW and post processing was done in Adobe Lightroom. I made small adjustments to the curves and did a little dodging and burning to the trees, rocks and foreground to bring out the detailsIn my camera bag
I carry my Canon 6D Mark II, a selection of lenses,, my Lee filters, lens cloth and I always carry my Be Free tripod for landscape photography.Feedback
Take your time and look for interesting angles and viewpoints, Using a wide angle lens will allow you to get more foreground in your composition but be aware when using filters, particularly polarising filters with very wide lenses as you can get some heavy vignetting around the edges of your image. Neutral density and big stopper filters will allow you to capture smooth water effects when shooting waterfalls.
