Its also a good idea to place the waterfall to one side of the image.
How to make cloudy water for photography. Well living in the UK we see a fair bit of it. When doing long exposure waterfall photography it is a good idea to pack a lot of extras. Its difficult to get smooth-water photos just right straight out of the camera and its nice to be able to tweak things to your liking.
Not necessarily the smallest aperture your lens allows because this can sometimes cause image quality to deteriorate due to light diffraction but a value of around f11 or f16 should be fine. You can shoot awesome photos on cloudy. If in a couple of minutes the water clears from the bottom to the top just like the photo above you most likely have air bubbles in your water.
Rotate the camera 90 degrees when photographing a waterfall. Some would say the cloudier the better because if your rainforest is high enough to be in the clouds you can capture some very atmospheric misty effects in the forest. It will create a bubbly look on the water.
Fill that up with water first then add milk to it. For more control over post processing switch the file type from JPEG to RAW or RAW JPEG before you start shooting. Using ND and CPL filters can also enhance your cloudy day photographs.
We all struggle when the sky is a blanket of dull cloud dont we. Let this mixture settle for about 10 to. SCUBA diving makes remaining neutrally buoyant and motionless in the water while you take a photo relatively easy with some practice but for snorkelers and free divers who must first descend from the surface it can take more effort to remain still.
Fill up a glass of water let it rest on the counter and observe. A CPL filter will help you manage reflections in the scene. In fact you can use it with any kind of water with different results.
