Keys to the Image:
The key to most waterfall images is to include some form of foreground. Without foreground the image usually lacks depth. Another key to waterfall images is to use slow shutter speeds. Because of the 1/2 second exposure the water still contains some detail. In many instances I use slower shutter speeds which sometimes last as long as 15 seconds. Using a polarizing filter is extremely important when taking waterfall shots. I will post an example of when a polarizer is used and when it is not in the next couple days.
Let me know what you like/dislike about this image.
Thanks for the tips on shooting this. I need to get another lens. Are you using a circular polarizing filter? I've been trying to learn about them.
ReplyDeleteI do use a circular polarizing filter. If you use a digital camera the circular works best.

@Nishant-I use a circular polarizing filter. They work better with digital cameras than the linear polarizers.
