One of the many falls on the Aurlandsdalen hike. Canon 5DIII, 24-70 f2.8L II
Wow, interesting water. It looks like a slow shutter for the falls, but fast shutter in front. How did you get this effect?
Thanks,
The effect is not made by me. It is quite a distance between the fall and the front and on top of that the drops in the fall are very fine and gives a kind of bridal veile effect.

Hi Pugshot.
Like the smoke on the water effect, a different take on the idea, very nice with the narrow field of view keeps the eye on the detail of the subject. What exposure, any other kit, ND filter?

Cheers Graham.

Thanks - here's the data: f/22 (probably overkill); 0.8 seconds; ISO 100; I don't recall using a ND filter, but I'm pretty sure I was using a circular polarizer (and a tripod, of course!).

Hi Pugshot,
Thanks for info, helps the learning process when we know it.
I would never assume a tripod, as one of my more interesting shots was taken from a convenient rock with assorted pebbles to aim the camera! ;D
Misses was so anxious about the camera falling over the edge of the valley she bought me a Gorrilla Pod for the next time. ::)

Cheers Graham.

Hi Sporgon.
Thanks for that, I have been wanting to try the long exposure on a fall for a while, but think it needs to be done with care, I took many shots at different speeds to try to get a nice effect without overdoing it, I picked what I thought was best, but I still don't think it was "nailed," I know people like both so thought I would oblige with one of each.

Cheers Graham.

Hi Sporgon.
That really does look tranquil, not a ripple, I don't know about flat as a mill pond, that's more like a mirror.
Nicely done.

Cheers Graham.

Shot in the early evening at Aldeburgh, England. 40mm pancake.

Many thanks. I like your pictures of the waterfalls. I think the slow shutter speed on moving water is so over done nowadays I found the 'stopped' water quite refreshing ! So my vote would be on those.

I took these with my X100S as I did not want to travel with my 5D3
I know the 'foggy' effect of a long-exposure is sooo overdone and soooo out, but I never tried it myself - so I just had to give it a try :-)
Feedback appreciated.

Overdone style or not, lovely shot. Composition might have been slightly stronger if you included a bit more rocky shoreline and less sky (the rocks/water are more visually interesting than the gray clouds), but that's subjective. Nice job.
