Hi Uncle Bill,
That's a great treatment of the classic waterfall sujet!
I like this even though I am usually not a big B/W fan. It is simply great.
Didi You use a normal lens? Or even a short tele. In my eyes it does not
show any signs of WA distortions. Or maybe You leveled it that precise.
Congratulations & Best regards
Peter

Nice shot, Bill. I can see this wasn't hand held :-)

Beautiful shot, Bill. I love it when the exposure time lets the water look all silky like that!

Ha! - We've discussed this before, and I still prefer to go for the liveliness and energy of the individual water droplets, rather than the 'creamy' look that I know Ron likes. Must admit though that this one has something special about it. Probably the huge DOF that you managed to get Bill. The foreground makes the shot in my opinion.
Regards - John

John,
I remember You point when I posted two pictures of flowing water, one frozen in motion,
the other blurry. In my picture the sparkling of the frozen motion worked well, because the
rest of the picture was even without much contrast or structure.
In uncle bills picture the whole frame is razor sharp - except the flowing water. Thus it creates
a contrast that sparkling frozen water would not do. Therefore I think that he did select the
right shutter speed.
Best regards
Peter

I think Bill's undoubtedly correct shutter speed has produced a picture in which the water is not frozen in time which, although it can be beautiful it is also unnatural.
On the other hand, the water does not look like frozen yogurt, solid white, which is also unnatural.
The water in this photo looks like a delicate mist and it still shows movement. It is perfect.

Good work, Uncle Bill! I like the light reflections on the wet rocks. Also the details on the processing, film to print, that you gave. Thanks!

I like how it has an old timey appearance.
