Other than going back on a cloudy day, do you folks have any tricks for handling extreme brightness variation? I tried to at least keep the sky out of the frame. Used different shutter speeds to affect the motion blurring differently. Took "normal" exposure and "1-1/2 under" and tried combining in Photoshop. Still, did not really capture the entire flavor of this little falls. Missed entirely the fine mist of sparklies all the way down to hitting the water. I think these shots are kind of neat in their own way, but not really how I wanted them to turn out. The colors have been cranked up some on photoshop. Some of these have a fair amount of dodging and burning selected areas. Originals were taken on Fuji Superia Realia 100.
