nice colors levi! and you did manage to get the water flow dreamily smooth. im wondering if you have other images...larger crops which reveal more of the scene...

if you like, you could try looking at this if you want to have more knowledge about shooting waterfalls...

I agree, the colors are great and the water is indeed silky smooth. Great set levi!

thanks for visiting jay.

neat link. would try those tips next time. i actually need a better tripod. im currently using a cheap one (not stable for a slr). just like the common hobbyist i tend to grab the next lens instead of a sturdy tripod. hehe

btw, thats not really a natural waterfall. its man made and is located inside HK disneyland. as im not a fan of those thrilling rides, i found myself clicking this attraction for 15min. hahaha

more images...

alam mo ma'am, i also experienced that CPLs work wonders for waterfalls photography. not only do they reduce the exposure by 2 to 3 stops (like an ND filter), but it also makes the water translucent and tends to bring out the brilliance and saturation of the wet rocks and foliage.

just a thought!:)

Nice shots Levi. I like the last one the best though kasi it's not too cropped kaya I somehow appreciate the feel of the place more :)
