Photo of the Week: Waterfall in Motion

Grizzly River Run Waterfall

Aperture ƒ/ 14 | ISO 100 | 18 mm | 1/4 Exposure

This photo is a great example of what you can do when you have complete control over your shutter speed.  I shot this photo in manual at a slow 1/4 of a second exposure time, and to prevent the shot from being over exposed, I stopped the lens aperture down to ƒ14.  The result is this “cotton candy” water effect.  If I shot this photo at a fast shutter speed, more relative to the lighting conditions, the result would freeze the water droplets in mid air, and not provide the sense of motion you see here.
