Waterfalls Shape The Landscape And My Photography

Water in motion is one of my favorite subjects. Water in motion never presents the exact same image twice. The water keeps moving and flowing, constantly changing. And over time the flow of water can change the entire landscape.

I am especially a fan of waterfalls. They are probably among my most numerous photographs. I am fortunate to live in a region rich in waterfalls. But, if you live anywhere with elevation changes you can probably find some sort of waterfall. It doesn’t have to be some huge majestic National Geographic waterfall. It can be just a small ripple in a local creek or stream.

If I ever find myself wanting to go take photographs but I am stuck for a subject to pursue, I fall back to my love of waterfalls. There is always something new to capture. And where I live there are so many that I haven’t visited yet. So I can either go out and try to photograph a new to me waterfall or set out to try and create some new and hopefully different images of places I have seen before.

Finding waterfalls to photograph can take on a wide ranging type of experiences. There are waterfalls you can see right from the road. Waterfalls that require miles of hiking out into nature. Explore an area by focusing on driving around to different waterfall locations. Or go to well known national or state parks to see the sights.
