Fairly decent Sauc3, it's always cool with shots like those to get a little more detail of the surrounding rocks and things in, or just get a little bit closer. Nice anyway.

When I have time I plan to make a 180 degree panorama which follows the river to the right of the image, which would get a lot more surrounding detail.

That's also the closest possible, as that's where the viewing platform ends unfortunately.

That's a cool shot. Tripod or handheld? It looks like it was tripodded (Just invented a new word :D).

Thanks. It was indeed triped. (Another new one :D)

A 0.8 second exposure handheld, whilst not entirely unfathomable, would be very very tricky, and would definitely not guarantee clean enough results.

it goes without saying that he used a tripod. Since the degree of water blur on the waterfall would need atleast a single second exposure time. Nobody's hand is steady enough to keep the camera still in order to maintain sharpness in the surrounding area at slow shutter speeds. I enjoy taking similar shots to this one alot it gives for nice results.

it goes without saying that he used a tripod. Since the degree of water blur on the waterfall would need atleast a 2 second exposure time. Nobody's hand is steady enough to keep the camera steady enough to maintain sharpness in the surrounding area at slow shutter speeds.

My personal 'record' if you will is actually at roughly 1 second hand held for a... viewable... result. Not pin sharp, but certainly not suffering from camera shake. Takes a lot of breathing control and supports to lean on, but it's doable.

i usually try the old 'call of duty sniper trick' but if we're truthful. the detail suffers at any sort of slow shutter speed as you say.
