10-22mm shot of waterfalls

ShadowHawk · July 17, 2006

If only there was a photo of me practically on my chest in the rocks and dirt in order to get this shot. I am glad that my Manfrotto was able to get this low!

This is the Elebana Falls at Lamington National Park near Brisbane, Australia.

Comments and suggestions are welcome

That's a beautiful shot! I'm a fan of the wide angle too

it is nice, but lacks something to 'wow' people. probably because of not enough contrast, dull colors and POV, or a dead center 'horizon'
and it is too busy. you were trying to emphasize the rocks? lower the angle & get closer to the ground. you were trying to emphasize the forest? raise the camera and move a little to the right, use the rocks as a lead in line. you were trying to emphasize the little watter fall? well the 10-22 wasn't the quite right lens for that job.

I like this shot. I think it captures the lushness and serenity of the locale very nicely. I also like the vertical use of the wide angle.

10-22 is my next lens.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess with the sheer width of the 10-22 lense I felt like I wanted to get at much in as possible. Alot of those rocks at the bottom of the image are physically almost right under the camera.
