Rapids and Waterfalls

Looking forward to our outting on Tuesday to photo waterfalls. There is a rapids on the Oshawa creek just north of CLOCA, that I tried a few things on. It was an overcast day which helped and I used a ND filter. The trick to getting nice milky water is a slow shutter speed. You need at least 1/15 of a second or slower if possible to get the effect you want. Lowest ISO, polarizer filter, neutral density filter and a cloudy day all help. Here are a few of my test shots.

0.3 second; f11; ISO 200

1/5 second; f5.6; ISO 200

and there is always something else that catches your eye!
