Waterfall

Posted on Dezember 7th, 2014

I was on my first journey with a DSLR, we just left the Yosemite Nationalpark and I saw at the border of the road some tourists hanging around.
And what should you do, if tourists are looking at something? Right, hold out, pick up your camera and explore the situation. There were two chinese guys with big cameras and large camera bags. They mounted their gear on tripods and put some large sqare filters in front of their lenses, as I now know it was a Lee filterset and on the other side of the street was a bored chinese girl waiting
I saw what they where shooting, a waterfall. And probably they want to have soft water. Hmmm, I already then knew how to do that too. I mounted my ND Filter, put my camera on my mini tripod, yes in the ancient time I wasn’t carrying a good tripod, I set my camera in AV mode und choose f/22 as the aperture. E voilà a soft looking waterfall and as I think not so bad, for a midday shot.

Long long ago, with my first DSLR in my hands, I was visiting the Yosemite Nationalpark. It was not my first visit there, the first time was in 1990, far away from any digital photo cameras, therefore I used an SLR without D.
But last time, I had a DSLR with me and no knowledge about photography. So I’ve got only a few photos which I like it. After then I learned so much about it, I think I should go for another trip to doing the images right Hmmm… sounds good
