Excellent shot Kevin. The 2 sec exposure looks ideal for this shot.

Don't know much about waterfall shots but i Like this one.
Maybe a bit too bright on the upper right corner but hey, what do I know :-).
Still love it

Hello Kevin
You did exactly what should be done in wanting that kind of effect. The composition is very good, the point of view perfect. I wouldn't have increased the sharpness though but it's a question of taste. I'd like the greens to be deeper.
Nicely done

Hi Kevin,
I did have a good Friday yesterday ... today I had a good Saturday too (we're a day ahead of you ;)
... Not an easy shot to take with all that bright sunlight to contend with.
You've done pretty well here for a first try.
I generally make sure my white balance is set for sunny and aim my autofocus at the brightest part of the waterfall,usually about 2 thirds of the way up.
This will make your overall shot quite a bit darker,but you'll get a clearer image with less glare ... hopefully.
Just experiment with focussing on different areas until the exposure looks right through the viewfinder.
Cheers
Steve

Hi Kevin,
You've done what are needed for a waterfall shot. The result here is also nice. Have you tried a bit faster shutter, such as 1/5 or 1/10sec?

Regards,
Ramdan.

HI Kevin
The slow speed has made a bridal veil of this fall.
It looks fantastic against this rugged textured wall.
WEll done

Hi Kevin,

i've never captured a waterfall but i think a 2-second speed has resulted an unsharp image on the leaves in motion. i agree with Ramdan's suggestion.

Hi Kevin,
I have taken some waterfall pics but they are not as good as this. Exposure is to be commended. There is good sharpness and colors appear true. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Kevin,
Beautiful capture of this suburban gem. What better place to be on a warm late spring afternoon. Lovely lush green surrounding the slow exposure falls with nice details to the mossey rock face. I tried a little workshop which I hope you like.
Regards, Tom

Gorgeous flowing waterfall Kevin.
I like where you positioned the top of the fall in the frame.
Very impressive light capture at the top too.
Well done.

An older one I stumbled across Kevin. As Pierre mentioned a wee bit of OE at top right but the greens and the effect you achieved on the water won me over. Well done,

Hi Kevin
Nicely done for your first waterfall. Camera setting worked well. I think the color seems a bit off and the WS did help bring it around.

Thanks for the recent visit.
