Well, here's what this location is like: you drive high up into the mountains, climb a lot of stairs, walk through a long tunnel, stand in a long line, and take an elevator up to a viewing platform in front of the falls. There is only one possible angle to shoot from, so if I took several shots they would have all turned out identical. So I guess this was 'shoot-as-you-go'. I think I have a natural eye for 'composure', if that's what you're talking about. It took me a simple point-and-click 10 seconds to set up this shot.

Actually, I was very lucky this day. Being in the mountains, we had to drive up directly into the clouds. When we first got to this location, you couldn't even see the falls even though they were right in front of you, it was soooo misty. It had also been raining there all day. But that was actually good luck; all the rain was producing a high water level. Normally the falls would be a mere thin spout pouring down, hardly spectacular. We stood there for half an hour trying to peer though the fog to see the falls (we certainly could hear them!), and finally Nature opened her curtains and I could get a momentary clear view before the fog rolled back in again. The mist created a nice atmosphere while still providing enough clarity. The colour was very vivid in the shot, and I was very happy. It was just a lucky day, a lucky shot.

Wow thanks so much for the comment!! Yea, sometimes I really surprise myself with photos like these. I mean, you have no control over the lighting or atmosphere, so it's really all by chance, just a matter of shutter, apature, and composure (I like to call it SAC, lol)!
