Originally posted by Snowgen Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Yes, I was in a helicopter.
While I'm very happy with the picture, there's three things that I could like more:
- The water near the Canadian shore (left side of the shot) looks a little grainy (?) to me
- The bright white of that roof in Canada and the water going over the falls near the US makes the shot look a little over exposed.
- The bottom is framed a little to close to the actual falls; a touch more river would have been better, I think.
Anyway, thanks again for the kind feedback!
IMHO the white is overexposed and the crop is, just like you say, too tight at the bottom. In case there was a choice I would have opted for a wide angle lens and polarizer.
Have battled with Victoria Falls myself without getting one clean shot. The locals donīt call it "Smoke that thunders" for nothing. // Nick
