Frequently Asked Questions
How do you photograph waterfalls with that silky smooth effect?
Use a tripod and slow shutter speed (1-5 seconds) with an ND filter to reduce light. This creates the smooth, flowing water effect while keeping rocks and foliage sharp.
What is the best time to photograph waterfalls?
Overcast days or early morning provide even lighting without harsh shadows. Avoid midday sun which creates blown-out highlights on the water.
