Ebor falls comparison - slow vs fast shutter
Finally had a play with slower shutter speeds at Ebor Falls, halfway between Coffs Harbour and Armidale. Nice spot, with choice of the upper falls (these pics) and lower falls. The upper falls are fairly short, but close to the viewing platform. The lower falls are a higher drop, but much further from their viewing platform.
These two pics are pretty much of the same area and the same settings, except I varied the shutter speed. The more observant of you are wondering why I didn't change the aperture or sensitivity to give the same exposure. The answer is because the slower pic looked overexposed. Or it could be because I just missed it. One of those.

Hi Skippy,
Out of the two I prefer the second, I've always been a sucker for slow shutter speed with water, but the burned out part in the middle bothers me a bit, my eye keeps going to that part all the time. I think a little less exposure would have done it. Nice shots. __________

No 2 Skippy - again slow shutter speed with water gives a softer effect. I also like the other end of the spectrum with very fast shutter speed and FP high speed flash.

Good to have agreement with what I was thinking! Shame about that blowout; maybe I can PP it out. Maybe.

No. 2 for me. And the use of an ND filter and longer exposure
It's a lovely place though, maybe a little wider on the lens too (but that's because I want to see more of it  )

It's not all that far from you Brett - go for a quick spin! Can't take more than 4 or 5 hours or so...
Hadn't even thought of a ND filter. Would have given me more scope for slowing the shutter speed, but two probs with it. Firstly, this was handheld and propped against a rail, so I wouldn't want to slow it down too much. Secondly, I need to talk to Birdy about a filter Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
