Description
Carved by Brandywine Creek, the 65-foot falls demonstrates classic geological features of waterfalls. A layer of hard rock caps the waterfall, protecting softer layers of rock below. In this case, the top layer is Berea Sandstone. The softer layers include Bedford and Cleveland shales, soft rocks formed from mud found on the sea floor that covered this area 350-400 million years ago. Shale is thinly chunked, giving water a bridal veil appearance as it cascades down the falls.
I photographed the falls from the mid-level viewing deck at mid-morning. Flush from recent late summer rains, this 0.6 sec. exposure converted to black and white is an image of mystery as the rush of the water is made smooth as the cascading water is recorded as a set of probabilities. I used an orange filter found in Topaz Labs BW Effects 2 as well as a bit of cyan to bring out contrast in the image.

I processed the raw image file shot with a Canon 60D with an 18-55mm IS lens using Photomatix Pro 5, filters from Topaz Labs including Detail 3, BW Effects, ReMask 4 and DeJPEG 4 as well as some minor tweaking in Photoshop including sCurve adjustments, brightness, saturation and the camera raw filter to produce this Black and White HDR image.
