    The water there could be an abstract painting. Very neat!

    Beautiful photographs. I was wondering if you could tell me what the correct name for this technique is? I always call it “slow fuzzy water” and though it seems to be catching on in blog world.. I would like to know the correct term. Thanks

    You have really awesome shots. This shot especially took my breath away. The slow shutter speed on flowing streams of water isn’t hard, but what really took my breath away is the outcome of this picture. The water looks like molten metal. It is awesome. If you don’t mind, could you share how you did it?

    The rest of your pictures, especially the canyon ones are magnificent. So abstract.

    Thanks.

    Keane thank you I’m glad you enjoy my images. The waterfall smooth look is simply done with a tripod and a slow shutter speed. For the longest shutter speed set your camera to the lowest iso setting and then stop down if needed. You also can add a polorizer or neutral density filter to get longer shutter speeds. In this shot I really liked the reflection of the clouds and that’s what caught my eye. Then when I looked at the image later I noticed how the water seamed to bend smoothly with the gentle waves going over the falls. I really thought the colors where cool so I adjusted it with a curves layer in photoshop. A curves layer lets you fine tune the contrast.I wanted the an abstract look for this part of the image. I hope this helps to explain the results. Thanks again for the nice comments I appreciate it very much!!

    Namaste’ Gale! I was also going to say something similar to Keane, I feel hypnotized.
