Landscape – Mesa Falls | Kaden's Content

This week, I took a short trip with some of my friends out to the Mesa Falls. This was a perfect opportunity to bring my camera and capture some landscape photos. For this particular project, I wanted to capture nine different images of the same subject using different vantage points, depths of field, and focal points.
I also decided to try out a new technique by adding a texture overlay to one of my images. The falls were amazing and made for a perfect subject in the images that I took.

Photo Process

The photo-taking process followed us around the entirety of the falls as my friends and I traveled to different vantage points of the area. At first, we reached the Upper Falls area where there was a wooden platform we could use to see the face of the waterfall. There were plenty of benches and staircases strewn about the platform that added to the scene. I even added a texture overlay to one of my images to create an interesting effect on the old wooden boards of the platform. Each of these angles was able to show a small piece of the falls before ever seeing them in their entirety. After viewing the waterfall up close, we went further down the road where we could see the falls from a distance. From this angle, there was no longer a platform for us to use. We stood over a large ravine where we could see all of the surrounding areas. The view was beautiful. Without the platform, we got to climb more through rocks and trees and experience more of the environment. To humanize the scene, I was able to capture a picture of my friend with his dog sitting on the edge of a huge rock with the waterfalls in the background. The landscape was beautiful and created an amazing scene to capture some fun images.
