I thought about the shutter speed's role in capturing the waterfall, so I varied the aperture to force it to slow down, as I shot a series of exposures. The one that I posted was ISO 200, 1/300 at f/5.6. I continued to stop down, finally reaching 1/70 at f/16. In examining the images, I could see very little difference in the rendering of the flowing water. You are probably correct, that 1/15 would have smoothed it out, but I had no way of achieving that without a tripod and a neutral density filter. So, I just chose the image with the best overall sharpness, ignoring the water. ISO 200 is the normal base value on the X-E1. There is a "contrived" setting of 100, but I never go there. Maybe this time I should have tried it. Thanks for looking. Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA On 9/15/2015 8:10 PM, Herbert Kanner wrote: > My first reply went empty.
