Aux Sables River

[Andrew McLachlan]

This is the main waterfall at Chutes Provincial Park near the town of Massey, Ontario. It is a relatively small park, but the Aux Sables River has numerous picturesque cascades as it flows through the park. I used Topaz B&W Effects with my waterfall preset on a background layer and reduced the opacity of that layer a touch.


Look forward to comments.

This is really cool; I have to start experimenting!

Andrew, This is very cool! I love the flow and the detailed look.

[Julie Kenward]

I also think the image is very cool in the processing but it feels very tight in the frame to me, especially top and bottom edges. I like the combination of color with the black and white and the effect you got on the water is lovely.

Thanks Denise, Julie and Jay for the comments, very much appreciated.

Jay, I hope to see you posting over here soon

Julie, I'll have to check, but this was shot with my 12-24mm lens at 12mm. I did a slight rotation so I did lose a bit. A viewing platform is right in front of the falls and rather close to the falls as well. No other safe view is possible.

Andrew, the flow looks awesome and the b&w effect makes it really stand out. Beautiful composition! Looks like the angle of view is limited from the platform but wondering if it could be a stitched pano...

This is really a unique image of water....I will have to get B&W effects after seeing this! TFP

Andrew, I love the water flow, the details and the slight color. I think a stitched pano would be interesting also.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Thanks Cheryl, Bob and Indranil for the additional comments, much appreciated. Next time I am in the area of this I will give the pano suggestion a try.

Hey Andrew, your PP work on this looks great!
I agree with Jules about this feeling too tight so if capturing more in one frame isn't possible, stitching would definitely be the way to go.
