Sunset over Iguazu
The great thing about the Brazilian side of Iguazu is that there are no limits on taking pictures at any time of day....(unlike the Argentinian side).
So I went out at sunset to watch the colours appear. A truly stunning sight and a waterfall like no other I have seen.
Simply magic!!

Many people have been debating on Reddit.com how this picture was
taken and apologize for not posting this information before. Life gets
pretty busy. But here you are:
- Canon 30D
- Fisheye 15mm Lens
- Slik Tripod and Cable release
- I took three exposures at f/13 (1/4 sec, 1.3 sec, 4 sec)
- I used Photomatix Pro to combine the three pics into an HDR pic. (I
use some of the Trey Ratcliff tips....http://www.stuckincustoms.com/.
I like his work a lot!)
- Saved as a JPG and brought back into Lightroom
- Auto tone and a little sharpening.
- Thats it!
Only 4 people were there. My wife, myself and two other Brazilians. And my wife and I think this final result is a pretty accurate reflection of the scene....ohh except for the whispy falls...it don't look like that through your eye ;).
I could have probably yielded similar results with a graduated density filter, but I don't have one for my fish eye...doh!

Yeah! and the best of the argentine side is that 80% of those waterfalls are argentine, included the devil´s throat xD
SF Brit (37 months ago | reply)
Agreed Almagestos......but one cant enjoy them at peak times due to fears of pumas eating people.....or so I am told by the locals :(

Mshafey. Thanks for the comment.
The argentinian side opens about 8am and closed at 6pm. No one is allowed in the park before or after that time (unless you are sleeping with the right people). The tragedy of this is that one can NOT capture sunrise and sunset shots, which is when I feel the images one can capture go out of the world! The reason for this limit (I am told by staff at the Sheraton) is because a child was killed by a puma a few years ago later in the day.
Now, on the Brazilian side of the falls these limits on entry to the park are not enforced. So if you stay inside the national park (at Hotel das Cataratas) you can wonder out anytime you like. 3am no problem... moon set photography....no problem and most importantly sunset. That is when I took the picture above. The best thing as well is most tourists come in bus loads and those leave before sunset leaving you and about 3 others to enjoy the spellbinding view in peace ;)
For me....this is why I liked the Brazilian side better. Both have good drinks though ;)
