I shot a couple of different falls this morning at little river canyon. one just after sunrise and the other a little later. they are about a mile apart and it took me a few minutes to walk from the first to the second. In the first shot the sun was just starting to hit the river and it was beautiful. Would really appreciate comments
I like the bottom one best.
The highlights have lost detail in both images. Highlights on waterfalls are prone to blowing out, particularly with direct sunlight. Add to that the dark rock you have here and the dynamic range is beyond what most cameras can handle in a single exposure. Exposure bracketing will almost always be required to properly expose scenes like these.
