Busy waterfall

I took this image last summer in august, at 18h in the afternoon. At that moment there were at least 20 people in the place swimming and refreshing themselves. I was struggling to find a clean view over the waterfalls, and even more looking for a long exposure. Even the dificulties I was able to make the picture and I had just to remove 6 persons on photoshop... at least I’m quite happy on the result!
my conclusion: what a nice spot, but If I ever return it will be in winter!!!!!!

it is a beautiful spot i would photograph it all year round if it were around me. nice job on the editing

I have 2 hours by car to this place, not so close, not so far. I wish I have it much closer!

A little too green for my tastes. You can bring down the yellow saturation slider and that usually does it for me.

Thanks for the advice, I will do a try on it. I usually like to up a littlebit the saturation on the blue channel.

It is inviting. I don't begrudge the swimmers. Nice work.

This looks like a location I could spend a lot of time at. If you go back, it might be worth bringing a longer lens, so you can isolate some of the waterfalls.

Nice work.

I would like to come back at the location and be able to shot with different lenses without the stress of people in the middle of the scene. A long lens included ;)

People are the worst, aren't they? haha.

Luckily with a longer lens, they shouldn't be much of a problem.

I like this photo a lot. It might be worth taking a series of general exposure shots and manually stacking and/or using median to remove the swimmers, as well as using a long exposure to layer the water back in it's smooth state. Just be careful when attaching the ND filter.

Thanks for the idea, I will consider using it in similar situationsin the future!

Lovely image. What was the shutter you used? Sine it is busy perhaps a wider shot with someone in it, can also be a good image.
