Waterfall Photography

This is how I shot – Follow The Flow

It was a fairly sunny day.
I found a part in a stream that had a very unique current it was basically forming a backwards “S”.

I had to cross through the water very carefully to get to a pretty large rock where I was able to set up my tripod.
Would not suggest trying this when you are carrying expensive equipment
After I got the shot I said to myself” Ya know Jeff that was pretty stupid” If I would have fallen in the water that is.

Camera Settings:
Set the Camera to Aperture Priority on this one.
TV = 1.6 sec
AV = 22
ISO = 100
Focal Length was 28.0mm

I took a few shots that were at 2 and 3 seconds but it was far to long and I got too much of a blur effect.

Looking back I may have tried this shot with around 1/2 to 1 seconds to see the results.

This was one of the first pictures with my new camera I started to learn and adjust the settings on water shots.

If I find a shot I really like, I make sure to shoot 8-10, if not more shots in different settings. That way you have all the bases covered.
Believe me its worth it to get that one perfect shot.

    I hate bubbles as a rule. Time and time again they have ruined a good shot..
    I know what you mean about getting to “that rock over there” When I was at Phantom falls in VIC, a rather large bloke laden with top end NIKON stuff went arse over trying to find a foot hold.
    I found it extremely hard to keep a straight face when asking if he was OK.
    :o)
