Upper Burnside FallsI hadn't visited Upper Burnside Falls for several years, say ten or so. My body paid the price hiking up the steep staircase. Going down was not so bad:) The river was higher than I expected so the falls were spectacular. I used a 10 stop neutral density filter for the long exposure shots. Comparing them with normal photographs and choosing a preference is a personal choice. Personally I find the long exposure waterfall shots a bit hokey, a bit too contrived for my taste. Many folks prefer the long exposures of water motion so I will continue with this technique. Here's a tip for beginners. Leave your tripod in your car. It's useless for 10+ second exposures due to wind vibration. I usually just place my camera on a convenient rock. It's "rock steady" and easy to use especially with a tilting monitor.
