ONE SETTING to IMPROVE Your WATERFALL Photography!

[@patricklambert8033]

Excellent, to the point, easy to follow thanks!

Where is this beautiful forest? Thank you for the great insight!

[@SightseeingStan]

It's the Ravenna Gorge in the Black Forest in Germany

I like the technique that you use to get the shot the way you want it to look. My waterfall technique is only one shot with a 10 Stop ND Filter attached to my 10-20mm Lens! Thanks for sharing and I will try out your technique the next time I shoot waterfalls 👍

Glad to hear you liked the video Joe! 👍

Thank you Stan. Today, KZbin algorithm has suggested me one more amazing channel to learn photography. I am going to hit the subscription button and follow your channel.

It is interesting that all the photographers who have pro gear use ND filters and I never used them with my Sony A6000 under a difused sky with clouds. Only used them in bright sunny days. Still got fabulous results without a CPL or ND.

It was a really good video. Good explanations I want to ask you about your backpack as I am looking for a smaller one. What make and model is it?

[@SightseeingStan]

Thanks! It's the Shimoda Action X 30L. Best camera I have owned so far.

What animal walked past the top of the waterfall? At about 8:09. I think it would have made a great shot but you were talking to us. Of course you can capture a frame or two from the video.

[@SightseeingStan]

It's the infamous German hiker 😉 😄

What is the one setting?

[@raybeaumont7670]

I couldn't be arsed with all that. A single shot at 1/15 sec on FP4 would do for me.

So, Sightseeing Stan, I watched till the end and didn't see or hear anything about the "one setting to improve your waterfall photography." Seems to me that there are quite a few settings you need to be aware of and possibly change to take good waterfall photos: shutter speed, f/stop, ISO, to name three. I would change the title of your video to "Settings to help improve your waterfall photography." 😎

[@SightseeingStan]

Hi there! Thanks for watching the video. You are definitely not wrong! Taking good photos, of waterfalls or anything else, takes more than one setting. The point I wanted to make in the video is that shutter speed is the one setting that will have a huge effect on what your waterfall photos look like. Of course changing your shutter speed when photographing in manual mode means that you'll have to adjust the other settings (ISO and aperture) accordingly. But I suppose it could be interesting to more in depth about the other settings as well in another video.

[@TC_Conner]

@@SightseeingStan Yes, getting the correct shutter speed was my first real test when I started shooting waterfalls. That was quite a few years ago but I’m always trying to improve. In this video you mentioned blending, that’s something I should learn to do. 👍🏻👍🏻

The 1 Setting is to (stop watching this video)😂😂😂

I'm sorry, understand that I think your pics and technique are good but I do not believe in using photo shop or any other editing software. By combining 4 images, you are creating a picture you want it to be instead of the picture you took. If I don't get the settings right the first time, then it's my bad and I need to go and redo the shot. May sound crazy but I believe in doing the shot right with one image and not having to combine images to make it the way you want it to look, not how it does look. I appreciate your talents tho.

All good, to each their own! Whatever works for you, roll with it ✌️
