First Waterfall Attempt

Shot this with my B+W 110 filter recently. It was getting a bit dark so I had to rush to get to this place in time. Ended up having to shoot at ISO 2500 to keep my aperture where I wanted it along with a long shutter speed. I absolutely love this filter, it is a lot of fun .

Nice first time shot, well done...

Picture is nice, thanks for sharing.

Dumb question, if it was so dark, why did you need such a dark ND filter? Wouldn't it have been sufficient to shoot at a low ISO and sufficiently large f/#? How long do you need to expose to get the effect you wanted?

Just a thought.

If I dropped the ISO down to 100, it would have been a little over 4 stops. So the only way to gain those 4 stops back would be a longer shutter which I was not able to do (unless I wanted to attempt bulb mode), or if I used a larger aperture which I did not want to do. Ideally I would have had a 6 stop ND filter but I only have the 10 stop one.

I had tried exposing at 15 seconds which underexposed by 1 stop, but the effect was not nearly the same.
