"Would you show me how to paint a waterfall?" is a question I get asked on a weekly basis and I've been on the lookout for a suitable scene for the best part of three years. I've photographed waterfalls during that time but nothing has inspired me. I've searched through the internet too but almost every waterfall is photographed with a slow shutter speed making the water blurry! This scene was one of three that I felt inspired to create a lesson from. It's not the grandest of waterfalls but it has a certain charm. This lesson will provide you with the skills needed to tackle almost any waterfall that you may come across!
