Finally worked through an image this weekend. Since switching processing methods and not using layers or masks, I've found I can work through waterfall/forest shots in like 15-30 min. But, any other landscape shot takes me 10x longer. I think I must just have a clearer vision for what I want a waterfall photo to look like, haven't gotten there with any other scene yet. Back to this shot, if you're ever driving around Olympic National Park there's a good chance you might drive pass this one. I can't for the life of me remember the name of this falls, but it is in the Quinault area and it is right off the road. Not the greatest waterfall you will ever see, but it had some great foreground material that made it a blast to shoot. Lots of ferns and boulder parting the creek as it cascaded down. The variety of Olympic NP make it my favorite park in the lower 48. Waterfalls like this, coast scenes like my last shot posted, and some of the best alpine areas you can imagine. This is just one shot from a Nikon D800e. Almost all of my work in post was dodging/burning, with a little variation of an Orton effect added as well.
EXIF: 14mm, ISO 100, f/16, 1s
