About St Nectans Falls in Cornwall, we hiked for 40 minutes through ancient woodlands and rain to get here, but have rarely felt so rewarded. My long-suffering husband was standing in the rain holding his hands above the camera as I took this (raincoats and umbrella's were safe and dry in the car...). Although it was nearly noon the clouds made it dark enough to really play with long exposures. This was taken on ISO 100, 5 seconds, f8. It seems the 5 seconds was enough for some sunlight to get through onto the leaves - I was very surprised to see that result :) About the falls - the 5th centuary saint, St Nectan, was buried at the bottom of the falls by two of his sisters according to local legend.

This is a tough shot - variations in light and shadows, DOF, etc. Well done!

great shot. what a place, it looks amazing. if you ever venture up to scotland, try the fairy glen in the black isle for some other interesting falls.

Megan, this was a very good attempt. I recently learned that falls should be photographed in bright overcast light, not full sun. That allows details in the shadows without blowing out the water's highlights. The only other thing you could have done for this image, was to use a graduated filter and turn it vertical instead of horizontal, placing the dark side over the bright half of the image.
That would hold back the bright exposure until the dark shadow area could catch up to the right side exposure. Try it again if possible. Shoot with out the sun on it. All the beautiful colors will come up.

Sometimes I feel the story behind the photo really adds a lot to the experiance. I usually leave behind the ONE thing I really need too (like the other day, 25 min drive, without tripod and me using a 500 mm lens, with and without a 2x converter. Went back again with tripod, but not the piece that you screw onto the camera to place it on the tripod...I was royally ticked at my self). My only nit about this photo, is the darkness of the left side of the falls as we see it here - a lot of detail lost. The shutter time was perfect tho.

great shot Megan...the water is a little overexposed but thats typical of long waterfall exposures. The overall result is excellent.
