Description
The center of the stream overlooking Vernal Falls.
While walking around the area over Vernal Falls, I thought I might get an interesting shot if I could get in the middle of the stream overlooking the edge of the falls. Due to carrying all my gear, I had to go upstream a bit to find a way to get into the middle area on some rocks and make my way back down. I probably would have liked to have gotten a little closer to the edge, but considering the fact that 3 people were swept over this very falls last year, I didn't think it was worth the risk.
I tried to find a stable rock to sit on, then set up my tripod against some rocks wedged in the stream. After everything was stable, I started taking some shots. From this angle, the lighting was very bright and even with my 9 stop ND filter and CPL, my exposure was around 6s.
