Default Went back a second time.

So I was out taking photo's the other day, and had a malfunction with my tripod that rendered it unusable at the time. Much to my frustration of course. Anyway I was at a waterfall, and wanted to capture it with some extended exposure, to hone my skills in that arena.

I went back today with the tripod, and got what I think is a vast improvement.

Hi there - there's quite a difference between the two photos .. you definetely need a tripod for this kind of long exposure image .. very nice

Thanks for the replies! I've been working on my understanding of light and how to adjust exposures to get good water flow shots even in bright daylight. This was the third attempt.

The later one is allot better. Lower angle and less of things to disturb. Less is more
