For these shots I had images from Shetland Islands and Orkney Islands from very rugged terrain that would have filled the bill here. I kept that thought as a back-up plan in case Columbus, Ohio, disappointed. In the end I chose to ‘stay in the present’ and produce all of these in Columbus, Ohio.
The waterfall images were created at Hayden Run Falls, Columbus, Ohio. Went on Monday and it was completely dry - not even a drip. It rained most of the day Tuesday. I stopped Wednesday evening and found this.
Intent: Produce Stack Image for submission. I have never produced a ‘stacked image’ before, so this was a learning exercise. I thought if the waterfall was there, would the silky look of a very long exposure (1 second or more) be best - or did I need to capture drops with a much faster shutter speed. In the end I produced both, and chose the faster shutter speed to produce this stacked image.
Success: Yes
PostProcessing: This is created from three source images. Put the three of them into ACR and adjusted one and then synchronized all 3. Opened in Photoshop, selected all three,
Edit->AutoBlend. When it completed gathered the result as one image, put into ACR and did final adjust of exposure. Added just a touch of clarity. Removed noise and sharpened.
Christmas Lights can make for some interesting wave patterns if you adjust your shutter speed and move your camera in a horizontal direction. Next time I plan on trying some different movements and shutter speeds.
