1/60 [Too bright to go any slower.]

ND filters man! ND filters! I do have to say this is an excellent example though. Anything resembling a waterfall is a hike for me. Its not the hike that bothers me, its the time it take to get there! I love the copper/goldish color of the rocks too. Magick Michael

Love the side note about "being too bright to go any slower". Being so new to photography and not applying any thought process of my own, I copied down one persons technique for getting the so called "angel hair" effect. I hiked up to some falls and filled my cards having used only the one setting I wrote down. I got home only to discover the majority of my photos were all long lines of white blur. The thing is, it did not seem bright to me that day as it was raining on and off. The waterfall was much more exposed to the sky than I was though, for I was tucked up in the trees getting muddy and dripped on. The things we do to get the perfect photo. Needless to say I have learned to experiment more with my settings and not follow advise so easily without more logical thinking on my part :)

? I think the 1/60 shot is perfect...

That was me wondering in the gallery if he could have gotten a bit more time on the exposure without causing burned out highlights.... I just have this thing for silky smooth water, but you need longer exposure times for that...I would agree with zhounder ND filter for this, might have been able to squeeze to stops more out of it?....however this does not mean I do not like it, actually I do ....I must say too I think I prefer this color version to the B&W.... like Michael the coppery/reddish colors are wonderful!

Since I don't yet own a digital camera, who am I to offer advice? But it seems to me that extensive bracketing is one way to achieve better results for such shots, especially given the extra "free" storage space of digital, as opposed to film.

Yeah but Misha doesn't use a digital camera either, this was film..... I'm guessing Fuji Superia Reala 100 at f/22 or f/32? And a partially cloudy day.... am I really far off?

I am, therefore I create.......

Thanks for the info. I can't actually select what speed my camera operates at. Both my 35mM and the digital's are basically automatic. However I think I can fudge it and arrive at a similar effect. Thanks again for the info. Bsteph
