Waterfall Wednesday 10/28/2020

Welcome to another Waterfall Wednesday.

My waterfall for today is a 3 shot panorama of Upper North Falls at Silver Falls State Park. My favorite way to shoot a panorama like this is to use the shift function of a TS-E lens to minimize wide angle distortion.

Pile on with your own images depicting water obeying gravity

Four views of Fairy Glen Falls. This part of the far North of Scotland is soft and gentle farmland with rounded hills and completely different from the rest of the North. In a hidden corner their is a stream that once provided the local village with water. The children of the village used to perform a "well dressing ceremony" where they would decorate a pool with flowers so that the fairies would keep the water clean. No longer performed unfortunately.

Very nice looking falls and a neat forest setting. Looks like the fairies are still doing their job

Here's a shot of Mossbrae Falls...

I have always loved how those falls seem to spring out of the rocks. Neat scene.

Thanks for starting this Alan. I never stacked water images back when I had a TSE lens, I always thought it would be impossible to merge running water. How wrong was that?? Very nice example here.

My offering for this week. Along the American Fork River

Nice river to have nearby - I like the flow here.

If the shutter speed is slow you can get away with stitching - I have done this quite a few times. This doesn't work well at all with beach images that include wave action. I do make sure that the stitching technique in Photoshop is set to Reposition when using shifted panels like what I did above as there is no distortion for PS to correct.

Love these Ken!

Mine is from the city of Souix Falls South Dakota. It reminded me in a way of Idaho Falls Idaho, though perhaps not quite as cool. It was really sunny out so I went for shooting one of the pour offs. The Souix Falls had what felt like 100's of pour offs.

I like the pour off you got here and the B&W suits this quite well.

Nice, Jim. You might try bumping the highlights a bit more in this conversion. And spellcheck Sioux

Nice contributions all around, everyone!
This is one of the numerous falls up the trail

beyond Tumalo Falls outside of Bend, OR

Those look really nice with all of the ice - especially on my screen in a nice warm house

This is Kakabeka Falls in Kakabeka Falls P:rovincial Park in Ontario, Canada. The river that forms the falls is the Kaministiquia River. The resistant rock which forms the falls is the Gunflint Chert which is 1.6 - 1.8 billion years old and contains some of the oldest fossils ever found in the world. The falls are 131 feet tall.

That's an incredible amount of water going over those falls. Not sure I want to go look for fossils at the edge of this formation

There is a big roadcut just across the road from these falls but you can't see the fossils because they are microfossils and you need to look at a thin section through a microscope to see them. I have a photomicrograph somewhere so if I find it I'll post it here.

I'd love to see that, Doug.
