I like the composition including the softness given by the exposure time.

Leon,

Thanks! If we had lots of pretty mountain ranges, I can assure you, you'd be calling me the mountain man! In the meantime, I'll settle for waterfalls. Each has their own story to tell.

Ah, yep. Neutral density and circular polarisers are your best friend!

Interesting shot. There's no idea of scale because all the patterns are similar although there is an indication of depth. Beautiful vista.

Marc,

Good pickup about the lack of sense of scale. I have numerous other shots of this, which I will post soon; these will reveal the proper scale and grand beauty of this special waterfall.

One of the images is a traditional wide-sweeping waterfall, and, another; a more abstract piece which I'd consider a more personal work -- it has a dark and foreboding atmosphere.

Very nice ! beautifully framed. I suppose if you used various exposures the water would look quite different?
Great work, always a pleasure to look at.

David,

Thanks, sir. It's a bit of an unusual framing, but, thought I'd go for somethign different. It was really getting dark all the way down there so the long exposure was a necessity no expose the midtones. As a result, the water comes out looking like silk. Anything faster than a quarter of a second seems to give a really jarring look to flowing water. If the water is flowing really fast, then, you can get away with faster exposures to capture curtains, as, I've also done with some of my waterfalls in the past.
