Buruwisan is also a favorite rappelling site among mountaineers. During the summer, this place is usually packed so I decided to go there while its the rainy season to avoid the crowd. The mud and the leeches made our midnight trek a bit of a challenge.
I shot this in the morning when the lighting is even. I have to wait for an overcast sky to avoid patches of sunlight in the frame. I did not have to use an ND filter, the CPL I'm using (plus the choice of aperture) was enough to reduce the f/stop to my liking.
One of the hazards of shooting near falls is the water spray. While others might play it safe by selecting a vantage point farther from the falls, I'd sometimes like to push the limit. My tripod was in knee deep water at this time and I have to use a zip lock to cover my camera while waiting for the proper lighting. :)
No PP except USM after resize.
Thanks for viewing!

I posted in the workshop another version, this time sharpening using USM was applied to the rest of the frame expect the falls (masking was used).
The almost white portion at the bottom of the falls where the water splashes was quite hard to avoid. While my hi-res TIFF shows no OE, most of the details there were lost during resizing, rendering that area almost white. |
