I was going to post a once in a lifetime opportunity as I went to Yosemite under perfect conditions to video an incredible waterfall that is beyond rare and this forum does not accept MP4's really WTF???
So here is a JPG directly off the lens. Don't believe in after the fact doctoring.

I dislike post processing also but it is widely accepted as part of photography. Wonderful image, I hope to get there some day. May I ask what your settings were.

It ISO 400 f8 1/90 Using a Pentax D10 with a 16 - 45 lens. I like the D10 and it is the last of the CMOS systems and produces some amazing images versus the current CCD.
It is tough to hold still and get an awesome sharp image due to the time of day being dusky to dark. None the less it is all about seeing the waterfall in person, watching it change as the sun moves, with photography being secondary.
My mistake here is I forgot my tripod, otherwise the image would be much sharper., but none the less it is all about seeing something that is extremely rare.
I live 3 1/2 hours from Yosemite and it took me three trips, with the first two being a bust.
My parents new the guy on the D-4 that would push the ash over the top.
Every evening ''Elmer'' would push the ash from the burn pile and start the burn over the next day.
Thats how we managed the forests back in the day when we had ''forest management''......................

These days....gov Newsome lets the forest burn.
I met that guy.
I organized a Corvette Forum run to Yosemite and we stayed in Mariposa. It was hot, in September, so once checked in to the hotel I sat outside my door and had a beer. A Chevy Surburban was sitting there with a custom Yosemite plate and had FreFall written on it.
He came out and I had to ask. He was the guy that pushed the pile off Glacier Point. I naturally bought him a beer and we had a great conversation.
