On the last day of our weekend getaway, we visited Erskine Falls, in the seaside town of Lorne.

#1 Rocky Stream:


#2 Mr Gadget and his nice piece of glass:


#3 The falls:


#4 Sometimes it's good to have a 10x zoom lens and tripod:


#5 My attempt at blurring water effect:

Great falls. Was the blurred one done at about 1/15 sec?

There is so much contrast here. Its hard to avoid burn-out of the highlights. Is there some kind of filter that would do it.

[shuttertalk]

True Don... it was an unbelievably sunny day unfortunately as I mentioned here...

Toad how did you guess? 1/13s @ F9, ISO200.

He's just that good...

For a cool waterfall effect - try mixing in a slow shutter speed with live people - of course they need to hold still. This is at my favorite water shutter speed: 1/8 sec.

Make sure that you use a tripod for this technique.

Wow, that's awesome Toad! Great effect!

Cool effect, you actually see the scale of the waterfall!
but for some reason, to me, the people look pasted on (though it probably is not the case!)

How did I ever miss these photos? :/ Jules, these are nice images of a really beautiful place. Blown out in places but you don't need me to tell you that. It is a difficult situation to overcome.
Toad, your shot is beautiful. Having the people in there really adds to the shot and gives you the idea of the size of the water flow.

I'd loke to ad mine too while we're at it.

Thanks Pet-o. Now that I look back on them, they do look quite a bit overexposed!
