Waterfalls are an extremely popular photography subject, particularly since they offer the chance to really flex our creative muscles and make dynamic, compelling shots. If you would like to take your waterfall images to the next level, check out this fantastic video tutorial by an experienced landscape photographer that walks you through his process and offers a range of helpful tips and advice along the way.
Coming to you from Michael Shainblum, this informative video tutorial will show you a range of useful advice for photographing waterfalls. Perhaps the best piece of advice I could give is to simply remember that you do not need gigantic waterfalls to create dramatic shots. Instead, lean on your knowledge of perspective and use that to your advantage. Living in Ohio, waterfalls bigger than about five feet tall are few and far between, but if you get close to the waterfall with a wide angle lens and arrange your composition carefully, you can still create a compelling image. It is a fun compositional challenge that really pay off when done right. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Shainblum.
