Crackpot Falls, Crackpot, Swaledale, Yorkshire Dales
Taken yesterday during a day's photography on my own in Yorkshire in preparation for my one day workshop in Muker, Gunnerside and West Burton today.
Firstly I must thank Edward Russell for making me aware of this wonderful waterfall in the most delightful of places, Haverdale Beck in Crackpot (what a great name Crackpot is and quite appropriate for me to spend some time there from those who know me, lol)
I arrived a little after lunch before making my way down to the base of the waterfall to spend a lovely two hours all alone photographing this wonderful waterfall. After spending some time walking and looking around for a decent composition, I eventually settled on these beautiful moss covered rocks (yes they really were that green). A Nisi Polariser made light work of the white light on the water in and around the rocks. I used a Nisi 0.6 Hard ND Grad filter to darken down the upper half of the image where the sunlight was flooding through. This in turn lightened up the lower half of the image and in particular the mossy rocks.
No other filters were needed to slow the water down. I also took four images and focused on four areas of the image before focus stacking them in Photoshop CC to ensure that it was sharp back to front. This also allowed me to shoot the scene at f8 which was my preferred aperture. I hope you like the image and if you wish to share it, please feel free. Many thanks in advance :D
