In answer to your question about...Hello Hiker Mom!<br /><br />In answer to your question about waterfall photography, the way I get the white silky water images is to use a very slow shutter speed. At low shutter speeds, the camera has to be held very still. To do this, you have to put your camera on a tripod. Otherwise you'll get blurry photos. I also use a polarizing filter, to cut down on the white glare from the water. I know the new iphones have good cameras but I don't know if you can manually adjust the shutter speed. Hope that helps! Thanks for visiting my blog! :)Linda W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00805197763483105000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507894275879507106.post-89647277470481025092012-10-29T17:41:24.817-07:002012-10-29T17:41:24.817-07:00Thank goodness for ladder!

Great post, great photos and hopefully more adventures in the months to come.

(I don't like either one, but I'll do it if I have to.)<br /><br />I'm not sure whether I think a ladder is better or worse? What's your take? Ladder > rope?
