flash flood first wave

The first wave of a flash flood in wadi Aug near Jerusalem

[@franklinbarrett4630]

At first I wasn’t too critical of those guys. They had a good view upstream and a nearby slope to climb. But later two guys kept just ahead of the wave front heading into narrower sections of the ravine. That was stupid.

"Hey look, a flash flood is coming. Let's stand in front of it!" That canyon is there and that deep for a reason and it isn't because a little creek ran through it.

[@ezzyth8824]

Well that's exactly why it's that deep, erosion or something idk.

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

@@ezzyth8824 At 2:04, you can see erosion from flash floods before where it has worn away at the lower part of the rocks on the left. That's at least a good 8, 10 or 12 feet deep and it may even be deeper than that since our top-down view doesn't really do it justice and the man is standing so far away to compare for scale against the sides. If you look up places like Antelope Canyon in the USA, you'll see slot canyons filling up with dozens of feet deep of water and still overflowing their banks. This area has no doubt seen massive flash floods before during large rain events and has certainly worn down this area over hundreds of years. The water up front that we're seeing here is just the beginning. The water further away is so much deeper and moving very quickly with all sorts of deadly debris.

[@kelaarin]

Takes less time to pick a perfect photo out from 100 than it does to edit a single mediocre one.

[@JustinBradleyPhotographer]

@@kelaarin That's why you don't take a mediocre one. You shouldn't have to take 100, 50, or even 10 photos to get it right. 2 or 3 at the absolute max, unless you are focus stacking or shooting bracket but clearly that's not the case here. Anything else and I'd argue you are just "spraying and praying" hoping that you will get a lucky shot. If you simply take your camera off of automatic (not saying you don't, just speaking in general), understand all of the different focus settings and use your histogram every time, you shouldn't have to ever spray and pray, unless you are shooting sports.

[@kelaarin]

​@@JustinBradleyPhotographer This IS akin to sports; a fast-moving natural disaster. I've done this myself.

[@JustinBradleyPhotographer]

@@kelaarin I disagree. This is no different then standing in front of the rising tide and snapping hundreds of photos of a naturally and regularly occurring and very repetitive event, like a flash flood running through a canyon. It's no different than any landscape with a river or waterfall. Rather than snap off a bunch of blind photos, he should be more proactive to improve his composition. Now if this flood was about to hit a structure, you'd flip it into rapid fire and capture the point of impact in multiple images. But c'mon man this is no different then pointing your camera at waves rolling in and unless you don't know what to shoot, you will get home and see hundreds of nearly identical images. That time is a waste of money and resources. But who am I? I only live off of photography and video, created a photography business from nothing, and shoot every single day. I've shot commercials and have had content picked up by Discovery Network. Look I get it, if you run a shutter count of my D7500, it has over 300,000 clicks since September of 2018, I also shoot with a D780 that has racked up more than 50,000 clicks. Most of those are not spray and pray. But if I go to the track I'll shoot rapid and if I shoot for 4 hours I'll have at least 2000 pics. Anyway, I don't care how you do it. Ultimately your method of shooting is a great way for beginners who dont understand composition. You just shoot a bunch of photos, find what you like out of their photos, and then learn from that and next time slow down, take your time and focus on taking the type of pictures you thought were good from your previous experiences. I have given you great advice that I had to pay to hear years ago.

[@kelaarin]
