A Summer storm passes overhead, shafts of light punctuate the dapped cloud cover and paint the three sisters with mottled sunlight. For the briefest of moments the break in the clouds coincided with the waterfall lifting it out of the gloom and giving it pride of place within my composition. Despite my usual aversion to sunlit waterfalls I had to admit the light was terrific. I metered the frothing water as if it were sunlit snow and then exposed it to just hold detail. I think I got away with it as the other tonal areas fell nicely into place.
