Waterfalls?

Photography — By on February 12, 2009 at 6:00 PM

If you thought that it was a waterfall, hooray for me! If not, hooray for you! This is my first time attempting to take a flowing body of water. In this case, it’s a gentle stream. The pictures were taken at Desa Park City, where one of my friends resides.

To get the white wash, all you have to do is use a relatively slow shutter speed. Say, 1/10? Make sure you check your exposure or all you get is a white image! Compensate the slower shutter speed with a smaller aperture and a lower ISO. Oh, get yourself a tripod too. Cheers!

    I feel both of your pics had the accurate shutter speed. I’ve seen some waterfall shots that are toooooo smooth. I like yours. XD

    J, thanks. I do believe that it is very subjective though. Anyhow, it, as in “the accurate shutter speed” didn’t cross my mind when I was taking the picture. All I wanted was to have the “white wash” effect. I don’t know when I’ll be shooting another water scene as landscape is not really my interest =).
