Mastering Light at Dingmans Falls: 4 Camera Techniques for Stunning Photos

By Frank T. Smith Closed

In this video, I explore four powerful techniques to overcome challenging light conditions at Dingmans Falls in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Using my OM System OM-1 Mark II, I test each approach to handle dynamic light shifts and bring out the stunning beauty of the falls. First, I demonstrate how the camera’s 14-bit High Resolution mode enhances dynamic range. Next, I look at automated exposure bracketing for HDR, followed by a look at the camera’s innovative internal Live Graduated Neutral Density feature. Finally, I mention using external filters, though I opted to travel lighter for this shoot. Watch to see how each method compares and how they can help you capture breathtaking scenes in difficult lighting conditions.

Watch this video to enjoy the beauty of Dingmans Falls and its mesmerizing water features! Here is the video link: https://youtu.be/U8YhlGN42y8

In this video, I am going to take you to Promised Land State Park (PA), an area I have wanted to get to and am glad I finally did. When I arrived at the park the temperatures were 5 degrees F below zero. As I started my hike, the weather was no longer a factor because I was presented with an enchanted beautiful environment. There was a blanket of clouds that created a magical ethereal effect. Between the cold temperatures and the water flowing, the affect that was created was mystifying. I hope you enjoy my journey through the frigid temperatures and to see the result of what I will say is my favorite image to date in 2023. Please check out the video & let me know your thoughts: https://youtu.be/6CHMVd0ThmY
