Took this in N Wales a couple of days ago.
Slow shutter speed gives a nice effect to the water.
Nikon D200, Nikkor 18-200.
1/8th, f11, ISO 100.

Hi Bill, that's a nice effect. The water must have been moving fast as I have found 1/8th second too fast with some water falls. How did you keep the camera still; did you bring a tripod or improvise?
Hi bill, looks like you had naff weather as well At least it helped let you get the slow shutter speed and therefore the lovely white flowing water.
How did you steady the camera, I don't believe you were carrying a tripod
Looking at the image, I wonder if you thought it worth trying to lift some of the shadow area and even doing a B/W conversion
Actually, I personally don't mind the darkness in the lowlights as it preserves the 'early morning' kind of freshness of the scene for me. But that's just a personal preference

Thats fair enough, many would agree, my own feeling FWIW is that it can be lifted to bring out some of the rich colour of the moss etc. I had a go, and felt it made the best of a drab day

By the way, I thought you had a D2X?
Ian
I do also have a D2X but the D200 is a lighter and therefore a much more portable camera.
It also does almost everything that the D2X does and for all intents and purposes, does it just as well.
I used one of the large rocks to steady the camera.

I don't do too much "Photoshopping" on my images, I leave that for the graphics wizards, I prefer photography.
Trouble is with Photoshop, once you start, where does it end?
Ah, that exokains it. I've been over to Stephen's part of the world and photographed the Aysgarth Falls. Quite slow moving water and it's tea coloured because of the peat. I didn't bring a tripod either so I was jamming myself into corners or against trees, or precariously setting up the camera on rocks like you
