Waterfall - Milk Effect

[brenski]

Been out to Cropthorne village today, finally managed to "capture" a Waterfall Milk Effect
Next time, I'll try a little experimentation on the lighting - as the ultra-white cloudy sky has over-exposed the leaves a bit

Canon 200d, 18mm kit lens, F/22, iso100, exp=0.5sec

Nice one

Nice shot.

As you say bit over exposed. Always a personal choice about how much blur of the water is right.

Presume a typo for the 0.5 sec.

no. definitely 0.5sec

the overexposure was down to the "whiteness" of the sky (i think) as iso and aperture were as low as possible. next time I'll take a lens filter.

OK, just seemed a lot of blur for such a short shutter speed.

it's an ornamental garden waterfall - so the downhill waterflow a constant (fast) speed

For long exposures, you need a tripod, turnoff the any stabilization (Lens and Camera), use a remote shutter release or use the camera timer, use the mirror lockup, and a set of ND filters (should have at least a 3 and 6 stop ND Filters). This will help you with any over exposures and any camera shake that can cause blur when doing long exposures.

thanks Tom, all of the above were already in use - except for the filter (which i confessed to forgetting in my reply #5).

Worth a re-shoot but definitely with some additional filtration as that should not only counter any over exposure but also allow a more appropriate aperture - at f22 diffraction softening is big issue (especially with kit lenses) which is why the foliage in this picture is bit on the soft side.
