Katterskills Falls

Notice a theme?

Had to clone out a tree that was smack dab in the middle so there might be some dodgy places. Sadly there was no vantage point that was clear, two feet in front of the frame was a sheer 200ft drop off. Next time I am out that way I will get a shot from the bottom.

No love? Anything to do differently?

jmo but you need to cut those branches in the front or go there in a different time of the year, and cut some branches in the front...

make sure you're safe when doing that

and... that kind of branches in front of any kind of waterfall is one of the most annoying things when I shoot waterfalls! I don't shoot numerous waterfalls just for that reason.

I hate them! - I kind of like to use that word now

On the first one I cloned the tree out, took close to an hour. on the second I said screw it and left it.

I wish I could cut it but I'd either die or get yelled at.

I think I learned all there is about cloning tool just because I cloned gazillions branches in numerous shots of waterfalls. That was a couple of years back... now I mostly just move on, can't deal with them anymore...oh, I forgot about ugly leaves!

I miss landscapes...
