Description So I went on a Hike on Monday. And It took me here.. This is Vernal Falls in Yosemite Ca. These falls are a little over 300 feet tall. A few weeks back 3 people trying to take pictures and stand in the water "past the safety railing" got swept down these falls. They have only found one of the bodies and he was dead. I must admit after the Long Hike to the top and standing at the rail looking at the water it did look pretty inviting. not enough for me to do what they did. Here is another Point Of View of Vernal Falls

I saw her shot of the same falls just before yours in my stacks, it is why I said it!
It is a very good picture but yours is really beautiful, Brian (her's too!)!

Great shot! And yes, taking risk (if they're calculable and worth it) for a photo I accept, but not risking my life. That's a step too far.

I was kind of proud of my fall picture but this one really tears it appart. Oh my! This is awesome. The texture of water is exquisis and I love how the rocks integrate well to it. Is is HDR or just a perfect exposure? Maybe an ND filter?
Instant fav!

Thank you so much! I'm sure your falls look awesome! I'm very happy you like the shot so much.. the only thing i have done to the image was sharpen it a touch around the trees and lighten up some shadows. I wasn't really prepared for the view when i set off on the hike so i didn't bring a tripod or any filters. the was all hand held.

Hue? 1/30s without tripod. You have a steady hand to say the least! Great photographic skill my friend.
