thank you! It was peaceful for the most part, theres a campground above the falls so ALL the kids come to swim so shooting around them was less than peaceful lol

Behind The Lens

Location

High Falls in Chateaugay NY. The falls sits down in a gorge, 350 feet down and a ton of stairs (thank goodness they built stairs though!) to get to and from it. Going down wasn't so bad but coming back up was exhausting but well worth it!

Time

late afternoon

Lighting

It was extremely cloudy

Equipment

Nikon d3300 and my 18-55mm kit lens, I used the rocks there as a tripod

Inspiration

I love water falls and experimenting with shutter speed but around here there isn't many water falls. So finding this one was amazing!

Editing

some brightness adjusting in Photoshop the water was so bright so had to tone it down some

In my camera bag

Nikon D3300, various lenses and filters

Feedback

patience and practice! we were there over an hour due to kids swimming and running all over though I could of probably used Photoshop to remove them I didn't want to take the risk of ruining the picture (my Photoshop skills aren't the best!) Remote shutter is also amazing!
