About President Theodore Rossevelt once called Burney Falls the eigth wonder of the world. This spectacular cascading waterfall is within McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. Burney Falls is not the highest nor largest waterfall in the state, but many people consider it the most beautiful. The 129-foot-high waterfall cascades into an almost iridescent pool underneath. Light penetrates deep into the clear water, reflecting a cool blue color.

Brigitte -- What a great composition you've made of this powerful waterfall. Did you shoot this from a tripod? If shooting flowing water from a tripod, you can use a slightly longer shutter speed (you may need to add a polarizing or neutral density filter to dampen the light) to give the water a soft, milky texture. Shooting a waterfall at faster shutter speeds will capture a sense of its power, as you've done here. Slowing the shutter down (in the range of ½ -to- 2 seconds) will blur the fast moving water, thus capturing a sense of motion. It's mainly a matter of personal taste, neither is right or wrong – just a different way of treating the subject to get dramatically different results.

Oh, and by the way, I love your comments in the "About" section. They are very informative and read like a caption in a Lonely Planet travel guide. Great stuff! Keep on shooting . . .

Regards,
-Mike.

Very cool shot and very cool waterfall... I would love to get a shot at this using a long exposure!

Best wishes,
Dave
