When photographing very close to large waterfalls, you must protect the camera and lens from water drops. Especially important is to prevent the drops from landing on the lens and causing smudges in the pictures. If those smudges are large enough or if they are obscuring some fine detail, they are quite difficult to clone out. This is Devil's Throat, part of Iguazu Falls in Argentina, and the tremendous mist was like rain. The best way to photograph this is to use an umbrella, a lens hood, and have a microfiber cloth in your pocket to constantly wipe the lens clean.

Bob Vestal - Thanks for the reminder about umbrella. We often forget to put in the camera pack--and to keep the microfiber cloth handy!
