How to Actually Find and Shoot Waterfall Photos (Instead of Just Driving to Obvious Ones)

Most of my Photoshop work lives in the post-processing phase. I’m the guy who gets handed a raw file and is expected to make something beautiful out of it, which means I’ve developed a pretty warped view of photography. I tend to underestimate how much the shot itself matters because, hey, I can fix it in post, right? Wrong. Embarrassingly wrong, actually. The more time I spend working on landscape files, the more I realize that the photographers who give me the cleanest, most intentional raw files to work with are the ones who thought hard about composition before they ever touched a shutter button.
