The Art of Capturing Waterfalls: Mastering Motion and Light in Flowing Water
Finding the Right Light at the Falls I’ve learned that chasing waterfalls isn’t about arriving when the sun is brightest. In fact, some of my most compelling waterfall images were captured under overcast skies or in the diffused light of early morning mist. Harsh sunlight creates blown-out highlights in the water and harsh shadows that flatten the three-dimensional quality of the scene. Instead, I seek out cloudy days or arrive before sunrise.
