Water Fall

The Place: Kapinovski Waterfall can be found relatively easy. Just follow the signs for Kapinovskiy Monastery (signs are scarce, but with a good map you will be fine.) At one point, about a kilometer before the monastery you will reach Kapinovski Monastery Camping and Hotel Complex. There's a tavern "Pri Vodopada" you just go around it and the path will lead you right to the waterfall.

The waterfall itself is not high, just 7 meters, but the pool around it in combination with the rocks that surround it makes the scene really impressive. Access is really esay, but you'll need trainers, if you plan to climb up the rocks.

The story behind the shot: We're there, I'm armed with two lenses – a 10-18 (Wide-angle) and a 17-55 (normal). So far so good, but I have a ND filter only for the normal lens. I keep thinking it would work, but when I climbed the rocks, I understood that no, I need space, and space above the waterfall is almost nonexistent. So cursing my own stupid mind and I do something really, REALLY hate to do while on terrain – lens changing – I replaced the normal one with the wide-angle Lens. Which has NO ND filter. On top of that around the waterfall was quite sunny, so that the picture has a chance to burn (a part of the image that is completely white and there is no image captured by the sensor). Long live RAW files and Photoshop!
