Description

Do you remember the waterfall of Lessons learned 9? Looking upward was the most spectaculair view, but looking downward offered a different view. I had no choice but to overexpose the water to show the forest and the rainbow, these contrasts cannot be captured by normal film. In the future I would consider to shoot this one twice, underexposed and overexposed and combine them in Photoshop.

using two shots is indeed the option for this.. if it's impossible i should recommend underexposure.. retrieving detail from shadow is easyer then from highlights in PS

Great POV, love the whole compo and framing, I agree with WONDERFULCREATION, its easier to underexpose then correct in PS. Superb work.

This is where some look to x-ray or infrared film for smaller grain and greater sensitivity. I guess that is only a sheet film possibility. Really, what do I know about such things?

Once again another beautiful image. I love the rise of cool mist. It cools my skin just thinking of being there instead of the hot desert!

Yes, that would be a great idea... I guess I should also try this method, sometimes!

Luv those rainbows! Great idea for how to improve it in the future too. The POV is excellent.
