The speed of the falling water would be greater, the further down the waterfall
you are. So, that could affect the choice of shutter speed. Personally, I don't
use very slow shutter speeds because I try to get a "natural" look where some
of the water may be blurred and some less blurred.Dave

flow was not great, at least there was some activity in all the falls we
visited. On the way in to the park on Hwy 140, you pass Cascade Creek, where
there was still one tree in fall color hanging
on.http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/c4/y4/Yosemite-5208.jpg.html Then you
come to Bridalveil falls. On Christmas Eve, with on and off rain, it looked
like this:http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/c4/y4/Yosemite-5221.jpg.html
Or at least the base did. I already showed one shot of this falls in
Christmas with the ice. Here are a few more:From the parking
area:http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/c4/y4/Yosemite-5312.jpg.html And
more ice from the
base:http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/c4/y4/Yosemite-5318.jpg.html We
hiked most of the way up to Vernal falls. A hard hike for me since I broke my
little toe a week or so before. So, we did not make it as far as we usually
do.http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/c4/y4/Yosemite-5252.jpg.htmlsimilar
shot but with a slower shutter
speed.http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/c4/y4/Yosemite-5251.jpg.html And
finally, the name sake falls for Yosemite, at least the upper part of the
fallshttp://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/c4/y4/Yosemite-5393.jpg.html
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/c4/y4/Yosemite-5444.jpg.html Question.
Do you like the slower shutter speed I tend to use, or would you prefer a
faster shutter speed like the first one of Vernal?. I tend towards ¼ second or
slower. But the first one of Vernal is 1/30. I like that one in this case.
I think the bigger the falls, the faster shutter works better, but for small
falls or close-up details, the longer shutter works for me. Any comments?????
