Tips for taking beautiful waterfall photos with your DSLR

Waterfalls have always been an attractive subject for landscape photographers. The surreal shots will make the waterfall appear misty and depict the majestic power and beauty of water in nature, creating stunningly beautiful photos.

But how many times have you taken a photo of a waterfall and felt disappointed when you saw the result? Through this article, you will learn some extremely useful tips to help you “capture” those unique, splendid moments at the waterfall. You will definitely be satisfied with the results you achieve.

Camera balance

Place the camera on a tripod or find a flat rock or wall to keep the camera balanced. You should also adjust the shutter speed to a larger shutter speed to create a “smoother” effect for your waterfall photo.

Set the appropriate aperture

Keep your aperture at at least f22. This will create a larger field of view that will keep everything in the photo in focus.

Measure shutter speed

You should measure your shutter speed when using the light meter. If you don’t have a light meter, start by adjusting your camera’s exposure to at least 1/2 second. Slow speeds will blur the water you’re photographing and create surreal photos.

Use the Neutral Density filter

Use the Neutral Density (ND) filter. ND filters help reduce the exposure of a photo, they are useful in helping the camera achieve slow shutter speeds while still creating a large field of view.

Use low ISO

Use a low ISO (e.g. 100) to make the camera sensor less sensitive to light and the shutter to stay open longer.

Choose the right time to shoot

You need to choose the right shooting time. Reducing your shutter speed means you have to increase the amount of light reaching the camera and you risk overexposure. Besides using an f22 aperture, low ISO, and ND filter, you should take photos at sunrise or sunset, which are times when the color temperature is quite stable. If you can’t shoot at these two times, take a photo on a cloudy, overcast day, it will be better than a bright sunny day.

Summary

Remember, if you want to get a photo of water in its most natural state, switch to a faster speed (e.g. 1/60 or 1/125 second). The camera will take pictures of the waterfall exactly as you see it with your own eyes. Now go out and experience what you’ve learned.
