HA! I'd love too but the nearest waterfall for me is about 6.5 hours away!Yasko wrote:

Karl, this may be an interesting thing to try for your waterfalls. I'd do it, but we got no falls here. I have tried this on beach shots though. Shooting them in full moon light at night gives you a shutter speed of minutes, and the picture looks similar to shooting on a light overcast day. Imagine what that'll do for your water

"I remind you that when you are photographing the moon, you are really photographing reflected sunlight and therefore you need to manually set your camera with daytime settings.
If you don't, the moon will simply appear as bright disc when you photograph it. If you want to record the surface detail of the moon, you will need to remember the "sunny 16" rule.
This rule tells us that on a bright, sunny day, we can achieve a correct exposure by setting the camera to f16 and the shutter speed to the inverse of the ISO setting. So at an ISO
setting of 200, the following combinations should give you correct exposures for the moon.
f 5.6 - 1/1600s, f 8 -1/800s, f11 - 1/400s, f 16 - 1/200s, f 22 - 1/100s"

Are you talking about being in manual mode? thanks
