Nice series, one remark watch your F/stop. In the last two you're on
F36 and F18.
This setting is compromising the shot, introducing missing sharpness,
CA etc.
Try to find the sweet-spot of the lens you're using, usualy between
F8/F11.

I agree with getting maximum quality from your lenses... For these shots, though, she set an exposure of 1 second, which was necessary (longer would have worked better, depending on one's tastes) to get motion in the water. She was already using base ISO (100) so the only way she could have brought the aperture setting closer to optimum would have been with an ND filter (for landscapes, Karin, these would be indispensable).

Beautiful pictures, by the way... Makes me want to go out! Keep shooting (and walking). Cheers.
 
Hi!
The first and the last it's really good!
Are you really used P mode?
Excellent composition and framing.

Next time ... dare! Try using A mode, tries to take a stand and a polarizer filter.
You see that picture of a waterfall become wonderful!
But really you are a beginner?
I think you are taking all around ...

Andrea

Peter! You are too kind... reading your post made me very proud. :)
I had tons of fun, and I can't wait to do it again.

Andrea!!!

Yes, for the most part I used P mode, I swear. Just for the waterfalls of course, I had to switch to S. But you cannot even imagine how many pictures I had to take to get that last one right! :)

And I am not making fun, really! I got my camera on February 27, 2008. I have a receipt!! :)

One of the goals I had in mind, but didn't share with Karin at the time, was to put ourselves into a difficult shooting situation and I pretty much insisted on this location :) We didn't get as far as discussing diffraction and the usage of smaller apertures as we simply did not have the equipment to capture the scene perfectly. I had a polarizer with me, so that helped me, but I could not find the right size polaraizer I was going to bring for Karin.

This outing not only resulted in some good captures, but I think bolstered our confidence to solve the problems at hand when faced with long exposures, dappled forest light and running water.

So, even though we could have gotten better shots using larger apertures, we worked with what we had and I am happy with the result both in my photographs and in Karin's.

The other problem was the ENORMOUS noise this waterfall was making, and it was actually kinda hard to talk at all over the rumble of the water. You might also want to mention that we had to climb a fence to get to where we were, and ignore a fine-threatening warning sign, which kind of distracted me because I kept on looking over my shoulder to watch out for the park rangers... other than trying to not get my feet wet, AND dealing with my son's unfortunate toileting accident.
