Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Yosemite national park. My husband and I were driving to the valley in the park and there was a small stream that ran along the side of the road. As we rounded the corner I noticed this small waterfall and several leaves that were scattered around. After walking around I found this scene with the leaf on the rocks.

Time

It was around 3pm.

Lighting

The sun was very bright out, but there were trees that canopied the water. I chose not to use the flash, but instead utilize the natural light that was streaming through the trees.

Equipment

I used a canon 40D with a 2.8 70-200 mm lens set at 100mm. The ISO was 100 and the aperture was 7.1 and shutter speed was 0.30000s. The camera sat on a Gitzo carbon fiber tripod with a Kirk ball head.

Inspiration

Whenever I see water I stop as it's such a wonderful showcase for photography. This particular scene, had great lighting and the perfect setup for a wonderful picture.

Editing

I did not do any post-processing.

In my camera bag

I have two camera bodies. One digital, 40D and one for color reversal, A2E. I carry my canon 2.8 70-200mm lens and a 17-40mm wide angle and a 100 mm Macro lens. Extra batteries, film, memory cards, polarizing filter, and a 2 stop Singh Ray ND filter and a plamp.

Feedback

Water is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. My main piece of advice is to use a tripod and a shutter release cord. Take the time to walk around and find the best angle to capture your photo and always check the viewfinder carefully as a stray branch or out of place object can easily ruin an otherwise beautiful photo. Lastly, I make the shutter speed a priority when photographing waterfalls, and take multiple shots at different speeds simply because the photo can change dramatically depending on the shutter speed you use.
