Advertisement Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Guest malland, Take a look here Victoria Falls. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest stnami Posted March 4, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 4, 2007 Nice work Mitch, this would look at home in a 50's home livingroom, the classic framing and implied drama Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malland Posted March 4, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks, Imants. I was thinking how to photograph this without making it look like a picture postcard — the general problem I have in photogarphing something scenic. In colour it doesn't work at all, as it needs heightened contrast to show the force of the water. But look what I did to this poor zebra in terms of contrast: D-Lux 3 —Mitch/Bangkok Flickr: Photos from Mitch Alland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted March 4, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2007 Very nicely framed and rendered waterfall Mitch. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 4, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 4, 2007 Mitch - Delightful, not the dry season, and classic. When we were in this spot we didn't know whether to look at the falls, the striped mongooses, or the foolish photographer going well beyond the low barrier.

jaapv Posted March 14, 2007 Share #7 Posted March 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) You took the falls from the Zambian side, I see? Did you do a sunset shot as well there? those are spectacular! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malland Posted March 14, 2007 Share #8 Posted March 14, 2007 Jaap: There was a fantastic shot facing the other way, downriver, where you looked right into the sun, down the gorge: the pciture would have had a bridge crossing the gorge and the river would have been burnt out to paper white. It would have been a great graphic shot. The trouble is that I was at a conference, staying at the hotel at the Zambian side of the falls. This was the only free time I had: unfortunately I had walked down to the falls without my wallet and I could not rent a plastic sheet and the mist at the spot where you could look down river into the gorge was as if it was raining — there was no way I could take out my D-Lux 3 without ruining; so the shot exists only in my mind. —Mitch/Bangkok http://www.flickr.com/photos/10268776@N00/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stopped Patricia's DVcam though. I have been there a few times, and it is a favorite spot. I can't post shots, as they are non-Leica:( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEd Posted July 7, 2007 Share #11 Posted July 7, 2007 I am truly impressed by the contrasty, yet full details in the shadows. Very good shot. Thanks for sharing. Ed. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scaled it down not to pass it off as a Leica shot. I liked the spray-band around the sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malland Posted July 16, 2007 Share #16 Posted July 16, 2007 No, Jaap: it must have been at a different time of year and the sun was setting directly downstream, with no view of the falls; and there was a small bridge high up. —Mitch/Potomac, MD http://www.flickr.com/photos/10268776@N00/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samwells Posted July 16, 2007 Share #18 Posted July 16, 2007 Mitch - Really like the high contrast re the power of the water. (Actually, the zebra shot is interesting in the way it accentuates the animal's camouflage against the background). cheers: Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malland Posted July 16, 2007 Share #19 Posted July 16, 2007 Thanks, Sam. Yes, that was the idea of the zebra shot. —Mitch/Potomac/MD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
