How to shoot waterfalls I am going on an outing to multnomah falls and since I can not do this again for a while I would like to get some good pictures the first time. I have a af cannon rebel slr but I would like info on the proper manuel settings. Thanks for your input.

* A slow shutter speed will create a blur effect on the water. Speeds of 1/15 second all the way down to several seconds are possible with a slow film (100 ISO or lower). The longer the exposure time, the more pronounced the effect will be. * Shutter speeds of 1/250 or faster will freeze the action of the water. * Shoot on a cloudy day or in shade for the best results. Bright sunlight will make it harder to achieve a slow shutter speed, and will wash out the highlights. (In the enclosed example, you can see how a peak of sunlight in the lower right corner over-exposed a portion of the rapids.) * If you opt for a long shutter speed to show motion, try to compose the shot with little or no sky present,..as it will likely be over-exposed. * Take many shots and bracket them. Hope this helps. Good luck!
