Very nice pics, Steve. You got some keepers there.

I'm assuming you had your D50 mounted on a tripod for the blurred waterfall shots. Did you record your exposure information? What shutter speed were you using to get the nice blur?

Best,

Michael

Michael,
The shutter info is recorded, but I can't remember and I don't have access right now. I try to have at least 1/4 second exposure, longer being better. One disappointment with the D50 is that I can't set the ISO any lower than 200. Having used Fuji Velvia a lot with an ISO of 50 (32 camera setting), it was much easier to get a longer exposure.

As for the tripod, I'm a big believer in using a tripod, but interesting enough, none of these pictures was made with a tripod. The Nikon 18-200 VR lens that I have has electronic image stabilization. As you can see, it is a pretty amazing lens, and the reason I went with Nikon instead of Canon.

"Pretty amazing" for sure! And quite crisp, too.

Have you considered using neutral density filters to increase your exposure time?

Best,
