Another shot from the "Pfersag Fall" during December after a few days of rain and snow. The creek is bearing much more water now compared to earlier autumn days. I also chose another perspective to give an idea about the scale of the location and what it looks like around the fall. I post-processed the HDR image which was merged of two exposures (4s for the water and highlight areas, 10s for the shadows, especially the small cave area behind the waterfall) in Photoshop, mainly through adjustment layers. Furthermore I set a high pass filter and ran the detail enhancer action, both for the center area from the waterfall to the lower right corner of the picture. via 500px http://500px.com/photo/93828023

Pfersag fall by tinobeyer

The "Pfersag Waterfall" is declared a natural monument by the Bavarian ministry of the environment and is located at the edge of the forest between Burkersdorf and Ebneth. It was my first visit there as I just recently experienced that it exists during an internet search for waterfalls in my region. The fall is formed as a 3m high, free falling step recharged by a small creek with different springs. It's a nice and quiet place out there as it's quite well hidden so I had enough time to take some shots. In fact here's the first capture I took on-site with a low perspective and some periphery around. The image is merged of two different exposures (0.5 and 2s) - one for the bright sky in the background and one for the shadow areas. via 500px http://ift.tt/12z5Hd7
