Waterfall photos…….need help
HELP!!
I spent ages trying to get a decent shot of this waterfall, just off the road between David and Boquete. Tried all sorts of manual settings on the camera but none of the photos really captured the beauty of the place. I see many photos by better photographers than myself that really bring out the colors. My pics look so flat. What am I doing wrong?? How can I improve my picture taking?? Should I use a program like photoshop to make them look better?? Which is the best pic??
Thanks in advance for any help

try using a tripod to hold the camera.
Try using HDR techniques. It works miracles with colours and lightings.

This http://onlinephototutorials.com/2008/08/11/better-than-hdr-local-exposure-editing/ is almost like HDR but better.
Can try this too http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/turn-ho-hum-color-into-wow-with-photoshop/
Or maybe this (which I uses once in a while) http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/hdr-style-results-using-layers-in-photoshop/
Oh yeah, if you are using a DSLR, a circular polarizer can give you great colours without all those troublesome digital processing!
A program like Photoshop (there are cheaper programs) will help bring out the colors in your shots. You can boost the contrast, the saturation and crop them to bring out the details of the waterfall.
yeah..agree with beautymakeupdivas.com…try to use tripod..
Your subject is too far away. Use a lense to bring it closer.

What kind of camera are you using?SY
The above responses make me wonder if there is a photographer among them. Assuming you are using an dSLR camera, the solution to your problem is fairly simply. First, I’d avoid taking this picture at high noon. That tends to make the lighting harsh and flat. Morning and evening are much better times to shoot landscape photos.
Secondly, a circular polarizer filter will solve many of your problems. Water can be particularly difficult to shoot because it’s so reflective. The polarizer cuts down on that.
Hope that helps.
Photoshop is kind when it comes to photo editing. I use it on a daily basis, and couldn’t live without it.

Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
