| I have had some comments about a Tri-pod and such to help improve the photo. I have taken a few other waterfall pictures and saw the great improvement with using a tripod and slow shutter speed. In this instance I did not because I made the dumb mistake of leaving mine at home :( So everything i did was just with the best that I had with me. thanks for the comments so far :) ! |

This is a difficult subject because the white is very bright but the dark is very dark. Looks like there could be a couple f/stops difference between water and land. That is a lot.
If you have Photoshop CS2 there are a couple options that can help, one is the shadow/highlight filter and another involves taking multiple exposures at different f/stops.
If the white is going to be washed out then the longer exposure times when you have your tripod is a good idea. You don't see a lot of pictures of these falls like that but it is a perfect candidate because it is in shade most of the time. Using a neutral density and/or polarizer filter can allow you to lengthen a timed exposure even longer.
Another thing these falls are perfect for is making a panorama where you would take two or more images and stitch them together with software (CS2 does that to). It would give you fantasic detail and you can get the whole falls in the final picture.
Thanks for the post... Multnomah Falls makes me think of Oregon. I've never taken it with ice and would like to sometime. One of mine taken a couple years ago and not very well processed is here: Mutnomah Falls on a June Evening

I was thinking the same thing. Here's one of mine where I did just that with 3 vertical shots. Full-size it looks awesome!
Great shot btw! I've never seen those falls with ice before. Looks cold there! |

Yeah... that looks NICE. If you took TWO columns of three pictures each side by side with about a 30% overlap you could make a tall AND wide stitching that would allow you to have a "normal" aspected print but big. That would make a great print and it could be printed really huge.

| Not really familiar with stitching but I will have to try it if I can figure it out. One thing though I don't have the newest photoshop so I am not sure if I have the capabilities. |

That feature was added to PS when CS came out. Look online and you can find applications that are designed just for that. Just like with noise reduction software, dedicated stitching software probably does it better than PS.

Here's a picture where I took 5 pictures (horizontal orientation) and stacked them vertically to stitch into a large panoramic print. I have this one hanging on the wall at home:

That is a very nice image and good use of the technique. Bet it is dynamite on the wall. With overlap I'd guess that is still a huge number of megapixels in that baby. (30 Meg or so in .jpg alone)
What processing and post processing image sizes did you have with it?

I used PTAssembler to stitch the images together. I like it because you have the option of producing a PSD file with all of the images in separate layers and masks for each layer. Then even if PTAssembler doesn't quite get it right, you can edit the masks to smooth things out.
My final image that I sent up for printing was a 14M jpeg which I printed at 20x30".
