The flowing water of rivers and waterfalls can be interpreted in different ways through shutterspeed selection. To give the impression of running water, experiment with shutter speeds from 1/30 to one second (opposite, left).
If the flow is fast 1/30 will do and you may be able to hand-hold the camera using a wide-angle lens.
For best results and maximum depth of field, use a tripod. Start at 1/30 and go down to one second depending on the rate the water is flowing and the amount of blur you’re after.
Quite a different effect is achieved with fast shutter speeds (1/250 and higher), which ‘freeze’ the water in mid-flow, bringing out texture and detail (opposite, right).
A polarising filter can improve the image by cutting out reflections from the wet rock and surrounding vegetation, and will accentuate rainbows that often form in the water’s mist.
Waterfalls generally photograph best in the even light of an overcast day. Contrast between the water and the surroundings is often naturally high, and the soft, indirect light allows detail to be recorded in the highlights and the shadows.
