High Force in Black and White

Almost level with the lip, looking straight down the gorge as the water breaks over the upper step and plunges in a broad white veil between sheer cliffs. Portrait format, a long exposure with deep blacks in the rock against luminous water.

High Force is one of England's mightiest waterfalls, where the whole River Tees plunges 21 metres over the Whin Sill near Middleton-in-Teesdale. After heavy rain the river also breaks over the usually dry second channel, turning one fall into two.
