Mahon Falls
-
I went down to the Mahon Falls in the Comeragh Mountains. County Waterford this evening. Here is on of the shots I was pleased with. Canon EOS 20D, Canon 10-22mm, f/22, 0.3 sec.
Regards,
John.
Wow I really like this, especially the perspective, nice!
I think though that it’s a tad dark, just a little bit brighter would be nice IMOI live very near this location so Ive been there countless times with my camera.
I’ve never quite captured anything like that.
Really stunning shot in my opinion.
I dont agree with Evan that its too dark though, I think it adds a nice moody tone to it.
Not much else I can say, great exposure, great composition.
Definately one for print in my opinion!
Those falls are not that far from me, and I too have been there loads of times.You must have done a bit of climbing to get that perspective.Looks like thats a good bit up the falls.There must be a great flow to it since the past rain.At this time of year the water is not that plentiful. i like the darkness myself as if it was a stop brighter you would loose detail in the sky.
Great Shot. At least the wet weather has been good for something. I was in that part of the Comeraghs in late May and there was alsmost no water on the falls.
John, brilliant shot I like it although, I think it might be improved if that’s possible being a bit brighter as eshortie said. Not that there is anything wrong with it.

Very nice Carrigman.
I would personally leave the brightness just as it is.
Really moody shot and the highlights are all very well controlled.

Smashing! I, like a few of the lads don’t live too far from here (at the weekends anyway) and I’ve been up here 3 or 4 times with the camera. I certainly didn’t come close to anything this! Lovely moody shot. Was this at the widest end of the lens John?
Cheers,
beefMany thanks for the positive feedback folks. I used the 10mm end of the Canon 10-22mm to capture this. I went there late in the evening when the light was fading so as to be sure I could use a long exposure. I also used a Cokin ND grad in order to
avoid a sky burnout. As ever, I shot in RAW so that I would have greater control of the exposure in the post processing stage.
Needless to say, I used a tripod – you cannot get this kind of waterflow effect without one. I also used a remote trigger device to activate the shutter in order to minimise the possibility of camera shake.Regards,
John Finn,
Carrigtwohill.I’ve been back to this several times John and I have to say I do like it. The clouds fitting in and the slight halo around the top edge was preventing me from commenting earlier but lets take a reality check. The exposure time on this is spot on and is one of the better waterfall shots I’ve seen. There are mountains of silky waterfalls, a few frozen falls but this maintains the movement and isolates the threads of water perfectly.
A huge well done.
Alan.
Luvverly.
As has already been mentioned, I’d leave the brightness
alone too, spot on. From a personal preference point of view
I’d like to see the green areas pop a little more; some selective
colour and contrast perhaps?
Even without, a marvellous image…Rob.
Very nice photo with good composition.
The brightness is just fine for me.
I (maybe) would adjust little bit of the red……Thats a fantastic shot John Well Done.
Makes me want to jump in the car and go there, which I will do, hopefuly soon.
The darkness in the cloud adds to the pic. Its so easy to blow out the clouds, did u use an ND grad filter or anything ?
