How to Photograph Waterfalls

[NCPhotoTrekker]

I have just finished a tutorial on photographing waterfalls in my Photo Trek Journal. I figured that since this board is dealing specifically with waterfalls I might as well post a link to it here. I won't copy and paste into the thread because it is a tad too long to fit here. Hey, what can I say? There is a lot to photographing a waterfall.

There is a homework assigment if you care to participate. You can post your pictures either in this thread, or start your own. Even if you don't post a picture, get out and try these techniques...you might just like it.

Wow Greg!!! That was very informative, thank you! I'm sure I'll be working on this!

Excellent tutorial Greg! Maybe someday you might consider a printer-friendly version, maybe something like a field guide or a cheat card that can be printed and placed in a camera bag pouch. (?) A .pdf file would probably work nicely. It's food for thought....

Printer friendly?, you know he is saving up to write a book lol. or should be!!!

Thanks guys! I will give some thought to doing a slightly different version to serve as a field guide. There is a lot of information here that isn't really needed in the field, so the pertinent information might fit on a manageable card.

Ideally I would love to do a photo techniques book, but I keep getting the same answer everytime I ask a publisher about doing any book..."We already have an author that does that, and we don't want to compete with him". I've done a little bit of looking into doing a self published book but am not sure how I would distribute it...or fund it for that matter.

Since this is the waterfall forum, I am going to sticky this so that anyone wanting to participate here can have easy access to a how-to.
