Congratulations Grady Weed
Hiram Maine Falls Below The Dam

This is a small section of the falls that are created when the water levels are changed due to heavy rains etc. It can change within seconds without warning. Some rather large trees float over the top and some huge boulders can be dislodged during the process. Therefore you have to choosy when you go to photograph them. It is hard to find a good clean spot and it is not wise to go too far out in the riverbed. As it is I was almost 50 yards from the bank. I tried to isolate as much of the two central falls and not get any debris into the frame. This is full frame for a 12x18 print. Gitzo Tripod mounted, ball head, double bubble, cable release used.

Canon EOS 5D, Shooting Date/Time: 11/19/2009 15:44:52, Shutter Speed 0.6Sec. Av(Aperture Value) F32, Evaluative metering, Exposure Compensation +1 1/3, shaded and low light, ISO 100, Lens: EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, Focal Length: 70.0 mm, RAW. Post production CS4, shadows and highlights converted to B&W, minor contrast.

As some of you might tell from this image, I have not done too much in the way of water fall images. Most falls around here are a 2-4 mile hike into the woods over very rough and steep terrain. So as this is close by to the road and only a 1/4 mile hike in, and my health allowed me to just enough energy to go in and stay for 1/2 hour, I choose this spot to try for a keeper. What do you like? What don't you like? Please feel free to suggest. Thanks for looking.
