Arizona Falls

Last April I featured two photos from Arizona Falls, a park on the east side of Phoenix that features a small hydroelectric plant.  You can see them here and here.  Recently, I visited there again to take some photos of the waterfalls and to play with different exposures.  Using a slower shutter speed produced this one that I quite like.

    So beautiful.
    You gave me the idea how to learn further with my camera.

    Waterfalls at low light will produce the ribbony effect when the shutter speed is slowed to about 1/15th of a second. It is impossible to take a photo at that slow speed in normal light, of course, because the f-stop cannot be high enough to prevent an over-exposure.
