Waterfall pics
When to photograph waterfalls
There are only a few shots of “classic” waterfalls here. By classic I mean those that have large volume, high drops and, more often than not, their own name. It’s not that I don’t like them, but there sheer scale means that it’s difficult to explore different aspects of them photographically. For example, you need to move a long way to alter your perspective of them.
As a photographer, I like to look for the miniature waterfalls that occur in rapidly flowing streams and rivers. Not only can you get much closer to them, but every few steps, you are presented with a whole new aspect of the way water interacts with the rest of the landscape.
By far the best time to do this is just after several days of heavy rainfall. As these pictures were all taken in the north of England, Scotland and the west coast of Ireland, I have not found this to be much of a problem.
