Beautiful image. Well done!
Have you read Kieth's articles?I am renting the TS-E 24mm lens, so in trying to learn how to use it, I decided on trying to try to do a poor man's Ansel Adams shot. I have gained a bit more appreciation for all the effort he had to put into shooting in the first place, not to mention all the darkroom stuff he did that we can now do in software mostly.
..... So far I have been focusing the lens on something near, and then using the tilt to make a distant point also in focus.
Like I say, they are the best source I know of about the subject. I have owned the TS-E17 since it came out and am awaiting the arrival of a barely used TS-E50 I got off eBay for $1,400, it should be here on Wednesday. I’m looking forwards to the new lens.Some of them, but it has been a while. Thanks for the links. I am finding it helpful to reread them now that I have a few days of experience behind me.
@RGB49, good to see a picture of Cotter Force making an entry here ! Not a very well known waterfall, but quite picturesque.

Your image reminded me that I had taken a picture of the waterfall in the winter of 1987 or 8. In those days there was just a very muddy path leading up to the waterfall alongside the beck. I used a Pentax 6x7 with 75mm f/4.5 lens. Looking at the lighting in the picture guess the exposure was something like 1/4 @ f/22 on Ektachrome ISO 100. I presume that your picture was taken relatively recently; if so looks like not much has changed in 33 years, although I think a little footbridge has been put in over the beck above the waterfall. I can remember that in those days I really didn't care for Canon one bit ! In hindsight perhaps erroneously as I think they were ahead of their time in terms of electronics.

Geese, it is a nice shot. Thank you for sharing. I would go even wider if I could!In 2014 I spent a couple of weeks in the Bitteroots area of Montana and hiked to several lesser known but still impressive waterfalls. The runoff was still high, and the trail up the mountain was really a stream. After hiking all the way up, I had to drop back down a bit trying to find a spot to catch the falls and the creek, ending up on a very narrow ledge. Sweathouse Creek Falls, MT.
