Helpful Posts: This scene is approximantely the lower third of the 404-feet (150-meters) tall Hickory Nut Falls, which is located in North Carolina's Chimney Rock State Park. I was attracted to the patterns of water and surprised to realize that they constantly changed. They changed so rapidly that I captured about 20 images at 3 frames per second and decided upon this image once I reviewed them on my computer.

Re: Pattterns in a Waterfall
Nice shot, Mike. Most large falls that I've seen change constantly but in a repeating pattern. It is fascinating to study.

Re: Pattterns in a Waterfall
Water treatment is a difficult subject when it comes to shooting, but this one is really beautiful. I love it.

Re: Pattterns in a Waterfall
How about a triptych showing the three most varied Mike?
Nicely processed, never-the-less.

Re: Pattterns in a Waterfall
Thank you to Kay and Dave!
That would work if there had been three sets of patterns that were really appealing to me. This one is so much more interesting than any of the others that all of the others met their demise with the Delete key.

Re: Pattterns in a Waterfall
Very nice Mike, I often choose which image of a landscape I'm going to use based on the pattern in the water (if it contains water)

Re: Pattterns in a Waterfall
A very nice scene and very well captured, Mike. Just like Dave, I also think it would be interesting to see the three most varied shots.
Very nice job, as usually expected from you.
Regards,

Re: Pattterns in a Waterfall
Just right Mike. Not too blurred, not too static in the water. Just enough detail in the shadows. Well captured and very nicely processed.

Re: Pattterns in a Waterfall
It was just the other day that I was watching misty rain falling on a clean car hood until the mist
accumulated into drops and trailed off the car.
Many times I wiped the hood dry and watching the process repeated with different patterns every time.
The chaos theory in action I mused to myself.
