West Burton Falls

[Les McLean]

I've taken this bonny little fall hundreds of times, and if I'm passing, usually stop off (you can park next to the falls), stopped by yesterday, the light was a bit flat, but the late sun came out for a short while, giving some nice reflective light, so I used a 10 stopper to try and intensify the light.

I would say it was worth stopping! Lovely light. Does it need levelling a bit though?

Re: West Burton Falls

I like the composition and use of the big stopper but I think the water is just a tad too "milky" and overall the image a little dark. Perhaps increase exposure by 1/3 stop and lift the shadows

Nice image - I can't make my mind up on the colour cast here, did you try adjusting WB and playing with a few options

If you look at the bottom of the waterfall its level Patrick, but I can see why you would think it needs leveling

Re: West Burton Falls

Well done Les. I like the composition, the milkiness of the water, and how you used the light against the shadows to lead the eye towards the falls

Re: West Burton Falls

Well captured Les, one of my favourite spots to call in to, I would have expected to see more water at this time of the year given all the rain we've had recently.

Very nice, I like the composition and the water from the long exposure.
