The Slow Shutter Waterfall Effect

We had been talking about trying to get the cool effect in falling water in Photo Class. While on our trip to Missouri we stopped at a little roadside park that had a creek running through it. I took the chance to try out this technique. The photos aren’t anything spectacular but I did manage to get the effect. I got it by switching the camera to Shutter Priority mode and leaving the shutter open for 2 seconds. I also changed the Auto White Balance to the Cloudy setting. It got the cool cascade while maintaining the light levels and not washing everything out.
