Moving Waterfalls in Maryland

Most of the time when I shoot moving water I use manual or aperture prioity. Keeping a low ISO and a  high F-stop above f-16 which most of the time will yeild a slow shutterspeed and give you the ghosting effect on the water. The addition of a polarizing filter will reduce or completely eliminate glare on the water. If you try to take a picture under full sunlight it's going to cause massive problems of  to much light in white area's, the solution is get up early and take the picture before the sun becomes to bright or shoot on an overcast day...Gary

Waterfalls on the Savage Mill Trail in Maryland

My wife and son seem to be very good at finding new places to take pictures. In Savage Mill Maryland at 9040 Gorman Road you will find the Bollman Iron Truss Bridge (constructed in 1869). It spans the Little Patuxent River. Right next to the bridge and river you will find the Savage Mill Trail and the waterfalls are only a short walk up the path ( about 400 yards). If you are planning to do photography either go very early in the morning or try an overcast day as direct sunlight on the waterfalls will most likely ruin your pictures.....Gary
