As previously noted, yesterday we went to Waterton lakes NP in SW Alberta. A nice day. These are balsamroot plants. ( Balsamorhiza sagittata)  Cameron Falls in the Waterton townsite.  A male harlequin duck in breeding plumage on the Cameron Creek by the falls.  |

Thanks Judy. "Waaaaay back when." You mean when those mountains were being formed and the earth's crust still warm? KIDDING!!  Clive |

Very nice shots Clive.
I like the panorama especially.
I wondering though if maybe the waterfall photo was cropped to a portrait aspect ratio if that would accentuate the waterfall itself a little more  . Or better yet, did you take any shots in portrait orientation?
With flowing water I normally take photos with a slow shutter speed, as you have, to show motion and a very fast shutter speed to freeze the flowing water and see which works best back at my computer. Did you photograph the waterfall at various shutter speeds? if yes, it would be a nice comparison.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks all. Yes, I used a tripod. Wanted to really slow the speed but it was very bright and I don't own an ND filter..was using a polarizer. ISO was 50 and the aperture f22 which is the smallest on that lens. I get your point Bailey, but in this case, no I never even considered portrait because I wanted the river as a base for the photo. And if you look at the upper left you will see burned trees. Over half of the forested areas of WLNP burned in 2017 .. using portrait and zooming closer would accentuate the dead trees. I also like how the rugged cliffs frame the falls. In addition, this falls is/are as wide as tall so you could go either way. So landscape it was. Thanks to all. Clive |
