  Early morning, early evening, grey overcast. Much slower shutter speed... :-)

Jessica Jenney 		  Maybe you should clarify what you mean by better, Vinod! Why don't you try shooting with different settings, including auto!

The only thing I can suggest is to get a camera that has a manual mode. I am unfamiliar with the point and shoot that you own, but I would not be surprizes to find that it sets itself. I'm including a shot that I took using a 2x neutral density filter, 5.6 aperture, and 30 second shutter speed. I used a Minolta X700 set completely manula. The camera was mounted on a tripod and I used a cable release.

Carlton Ward's Gallery 		  Hi Vinod, I use a circular polarizer for almost all my waterfall photos. It will help with cutting down the reflection of the water and allow a little more detail in darker areas. You will need a tripod as well. It appears that the sun is overhead and this also causes the dark areas to be even darker. As Bob said, If you could re shoot this in either overcast sky or just at sunrise or sunset, you would get better lighting to work with.

Rom A.G. 		  photos are too dark as shutter speed is too high. go with 1/250 next time and ISO200.

these were taken at 11pm so the shutter speed was 2-4secs.
