shot taken at: This waterfall is part of Yellowdog Falls, which is near Marquette Michigan. I had to cross the river to get this shot. When I came back across the river I slip and fall in the river, but the camera equipement didn't get wet. Thank God.... I tried some new filters that I really like using. I recently purchase the Cokin Z pro system, which is a 4x6 filter holder that allows you to stack filters. In this shot I used a ND .6 filter with a coral filter. Both filters are LEE filters.
