Baden-Baden

I recently spent a wonderful day hiking in the black forest. It was cloudy, raining from time to time - perfect conditions for waterfall photography. The cascade in the photo is near Baden Baden in the northern black forest. I had to wade through knee deep water to get a good perspective on the waterfall. The cold water felt very refreshing and I needed it. I had been up since 3 am to get a sunrise in Kraichgau before I went on to the black forest.

Tech: Hoya HD polarizer + Lee 0.9 ND

Black forest in spring is more of a green forest. I led my first photography workshop yesterday. 9 hours of photographing waterfalls and streams, 9 hours of pouring rain. But this was perfect for the photos we had in mind, the colors were intense and the streams were at exactly the right level.

Since I was leading the workshop I took only a few photos myself and most of the time I was holding umbrellas ;-) But here I couldn't resist and had to wade out into the creek to get this shot. It was funny, we needed more than two hours to reach the main waterfall of this creek since the stream looked so nice and every few meters waited another photo opportunity.

Have a nice sunday! cheers

Taken last spring in the northern black forest at one of my favourite cascades. It was a cloudy and rainy day which was perfect for waterfall photography. A polarizer helped to bring out the wonderful colors. In post I worked on contrast, details and just a bit on the colors, in the end I needed to reduce the saturation a bit since the incresed contrast also led to more intense colors.

I have a before and after comparison on my g+ profile if you're interested.

cheers
