Noble Falls

Some run off into the rivers at last.
I know Noble Falls is an odd title for these tiny falls :-)
Had a little practice with my 10 stop ND filter today,
hints WELCOME :-)

Nice capture. Nice place. V

Wonderful and fresh mood. Beautiful photo. I'd use longer exp and more closed apert. If the water is creamy, which I like very much, let be a little more. V

Wonderful work, and great with so much water. I wonder if the filter is warming the image as well as slowing the exposure!

I can't think of a thing to improve this. Love the tones and creamy water with the rugged rocks. Beautiful image. V.

If that is a practice you are off to a flying start. Getting rid of the colour cast is usually the main 'problem' and you've sorted that. Lets see some even longer exposures now :0)

It's a great effect, are you sure you need any practice?

I have not toyed with ND filters since film days. Hummm...

A wonderful composition. I have one of these filters (two polarizing filters and one rotates - adjustable ND) and they are ideal for blurring water (rivers, seaside) but they can also remove moving people and vehicles if you can get a long enough exposure. Set camera to minimum iso , smallest aperture, focus with lens set to manual focus before the shot with the filter at its brightest (or off the lens) and then turn filter to darkest (or put filter on lens). A dark image is much harder for the camera to obtain a focus lock. Take the shot using aperture priority for a long exposure. You may need to bracket the exposures if the camera gets it wrong due to the extreme darkness. have fun. put your self in the shot in two locations if the exposure is long enough. Hers an example of minehttp://www.pbase.com/barry_2718/image/132142163

I like the effect, it has created nice motion blur on the waterfalls...and softened the clouds. The slower shutter speed is good too. Try taking shots of the moon, it should help with the contrast and cut back the 'brightness' to give more detail on the moons surface.

Wonderful scene Sheila!
I wish I could offer some help with the filter, but I've not tried one yet...

Lovely to see flowing water after your extraordinarily long dry season...excellent natural tones & colour...

Can't help with the filter as I have't broached then yet but this shot has nicely balanced tones and the water has just the right amount of 'fluffiness" :)
