RE: The Flow ( + Behind The Shot Photos!)

Very clever, daring and technically accomplished shot. Positively idyllic! I don't want to say anything negative about it (and I can't about your ever excellent work!) .... but.... personal preference then: I don't quite get the trend to make waterfalls go all dreamy. Therefore I very much appreciate the shots of work in progress where I can truly hear the water gushing and bubbling. I've been looking for crisp waterfall shots for ages now, hence my piqued interest in the difference.
However, I am surprised to learn it's not an editing trick (plus a bit of a nice lens) but an actual 30 second soak! I think I might appreciate the effect better now, afterall.... Still, I am wondering what you used to take the "natural" shots.

Sort:  

I used a 10 stop ND filter and set my camera to 30s... wuala! A little bit of post processing to bring out the detail and correct the colours.. and that's what you see :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
