One of 63 Ways to Beat Stress and Feel Great in New River Gorge National Park & Preserve by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around the Sandstone Falls area of the national park with a view looking to the southwest across several waterfalls of the New River. My thinking in composing this image was to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and create a sweeping view across the several waterfalls. That would also help to minimize the more overcast skies present that morning. By including some of the foreground, it would help to create a sense of scale and add a layered element and foreground to complete the setting.
Sandstone Falls Surrounded by the Southern Allegheny Mountains (New River Gorge National Park & Preserve) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest and upstream with the New River while taking in views along the Sandstone Falls area of New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. My thinking in composing this was to take advantage of the river as a way to draw the viewer into the image. The image itself would be leveled-on with the waterfalls more or less center. All around would be hillside of trees and the mountains in that part of West Virginia. I worked to minimize the overcast skies, even though they did allow me to have a longer shutter speed and create a more silkier look to the waters flowing by after closing down on the aperture.
