When Nature Callsby *voyager01

Taken at Moss Glen Falls, Stowe, VT. Shot with my Nikon D70 and 18-70 DX zoom lens.

If I may ask, where did you get your meter reading from?

*voyager01 Jun 16, 2006

You may ask.

Actually, I have shot enough waterfalls to know what shutter speeds work best with what lens I'm using. The real trick is to get slow enough speeds without blowing out the highlights. Sometimes cranking the f/stop way up, sometimes using a circular polarizer.

Oh, because I read that when shooting waterfalls such as the one you shot, getting a meter reading from the green around it will make it the best. You get your reading for the foliage, and set it at a -2/3 exposure, then recompose.

Don't know if you understood that, but yea.

*voyager01 Jun 16, 2006

I understood it. I haven't practiced it but I understood. I generally try to set my shutter speed to 1/3 second on my wide lens, and 1/5 second on my VR. It generally gives me the effect I'm looking for. Of course, there are always variables.. I also try to shoot at dusk if possible.. Sometimes I will manually focus because auto will sometimes focus on the surface of the water instead of the rocks under.

Thank you. All of my falls shots came out really well. It was worth driving over 1000 miles for.

This picture is incredibly beautiful. It reminds me of Chinese and Japanese paintings of waterfalls.

*voyager01 Jun 9, 2006

Thank you. These shots really did come out well. I have this falls and one other to process still.
