Located at the confluence of Onion Creek and Williamson Creek, these creeks join and meander through the park over limestone formations and two waterfalls. In the grand scheme of waterfalls, these two falls aren’t jaw-dropping spectacular. The falls are about 15 feet in height. What they lack in height and drama they make up for by completing the scene; rock formations, trees, quiet (normally) streams and a waterfall or two.
A traditional waterfall shot has the waterfall filling a major portion of the frame. I chose to show the Lower Falls encompassing the entire scene since the falls by themselves are relatively small. The Lower Falls is still the subject, I just wanted to show it in context to its environment. Given all that, I needed to pay extra attention to some composition and post-processing techniques to indicate the falls as the subject.
