Waterfall of Provo River, taken recently along Mirror Lake Highway. (Used 3 stops of neutral density filter. Still, bright sun will over-expose shots of water.)

one thing i am finding out is i get much beter results shooting w/ my contrast set as low as possible (-4 on my 400d). it has really helped to keep highlights from blowing out and givees me the maximum shadow detail (really a little muddy, but that is where editing comes in). then in post processing i can push my tones around where i want them, bringing down the shadows so they aren;t so muddy yet keeping some detail and texture, while being able to keep the highlights from going bulletproof and losing any texture at all. unless i want to lose texture in either. i prefer having the choice to make myself instead of having it made for me.

As for software, I highly recommend Photoshop CS3. Lightroom is good as well, but Photoshop is a necessity if you want to print yourself. The new camera raw 4.2 is pretty impressive stuff.

but it makes a huge difference in my whole work flow by starting out so flat, whether shot flat or bumped down in dpp. i have taken to starting it flat in processing and adjusting my rgb curves as well as my raw. i've found it much easier to start w/ a lifeless image, just data, no interpretation. and from there push my values around to achieve what the image tells me it wants to be.
i trial'd lr and liked it, even though it edits universally. i relly want that local control ! case in point - that damn bush in the upper left of the water fall. it needs to come down. i look at that image and my eye goesa right to it. it is just soooo expensive, this digital world ! and now i'm trying to find an affordable way to scan my old 35mm b/w and still get results i would be pleased w/. NOTHING will ever beat a silver halide print though, in my opinion.signature

I always find it fulfilling when you discover a new technique that you become really confident with. I really like the final image, and that bush in the corner? I didn't even notice it until you said something.

a lot of the time we are stuck having to take what we get when we're there. visiting and revisiting a locale in order to get it under the best light and conditions, shooting it from different angles, different crops, different focal lengths, is often what is needed though to get a really spectacular shot.
the only thing that separates a pro form an amateur is patience and the ability to consistently produce quality images from the understanding of light and composition. you don't need to make money from it to be a pro. and looking at others work is really helpful. understanding how they got that great shot will tell you how to get yours.
keep up the good work !signature

As far as the RAW files from the D1 are concerned, I find that the biggest differences between RAW and JPEG are noise and color rendition. The JPEG engine in the original D1 is very primitive compared to Adobe's RAW converter. The files still aren't up to the quality from the D1H/X, for example, but they are certainly usable.
I agree, of course, with the post about light, composition, the moment, and the effort being paramount. A great moment with a cheap point-and-shoot always trumps a knees-locked, high-noon snapshot with a D2XS, always.

Got some overexposure with hanging the shutter trying to get some milky water.

I stopped the flow of water a little, I like the effect of stopped water more than running water.
