There are three viewpoints for photographing the falls. The first, a viewing platform that avoids going down any steps, may be accessible, but you are looking through the trees at a partial view of the falls. I could not even get here last week, because there was a sharp foot deep drop in the gravel pathway.
The lower viewpoints require quite a few steps, and in the third case, hopping over some boulders. These are the sorts of viewpoints I will simply not be able to access. Thank goodness I already have some hundreds of waterfall pictures around here, like the above two.
I can also focus a bit on the history of these waterfalls. Almost all of them at one time had a mill pond and mill. It was a different era!
It's true, your photographic perspective has changed and presented you with new challenges but you are now seeing things from a level that some folks don't think about and can't or don't want to bend down far enough to take the photo. I see some new photographic advantages coming up for you:))
ReplyDeleteYour new point of view is okay will your readers, not everyone sees the same thing:)
ReplyDeleteYou've got some excellent photos there. The reason we look at blogs is to see the world from other people's viewpoints.
ReplyDeleteA different view point is always welcome keep on expressing those new views.
ReplyDeleteI like you idea about going into the history and detail to go along with your photos, old and new. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering if you could get a "selfie stick" that would allow you to put your phone above the railings for pictures. Just a thought. :-)
ReplyDeleteDJan had the same thought as I did.
