November 28th, 2016

On this gloomy day, I visited Valley Falls with my tripod and my neutral density (ND) filters.

It wasn’t snowy and it wasn’t too cold, so I spent the afternoon taking photos of the falls.

I’m always looking at the different textures of leaves and rocks when I’m taking photos. I try to provide a few shots grounding the viewer with the little things in my immediate surroundings.

I set up my tripod down river and caught some softer long-exposure shots of the water.

The ND filter I used gave a tinge of a violet overlay, especially on the rocks there.

I love the way these long-exposure shots catch that probably of bubbles and trickles forming a soft cloud.

The rapids downstream from the waterfall formed interesting shapes, especially with the long-exposure.

While I was there, of course I needed to give some attention to the actual waterfall.

I experimented with my color settings to show that contrast with Valley Falls and its iconic center stone.

I finished taking shots at the first waterfall drop upstream. That ash tree on the left side has since been removed to help slow down ash borer beetles in our area.

The proper picture of this 43 meter waterfall. Koto falls derived its name from the koto, a traditional Japanese string instrument. With a bit of imagination, the falling water resembles the 13 strings of this instrument.
