Practical Workshop | Photographing Waterfalls with Karl Grabherr

In this all-day practical workshop, we will extensively focus on the topic of water and long-exposure photography with filters. The search for the perfect composition, the use of neutral density filters to extend exposure time, graduated neutral density filters for contrast control, and polarizing filters to manage reflections are our main topics. Additionally, we will thoroughly explain and practice targeted exposure measurement, including consideration of filter factors for perfect results. The Höllfall and Lohnbachfall in the Waldviertel (along the Bear Trail) provide the perfect setting for this.
