Long Exposure Photography and Some Tips

Long Exposure Photography and Some Tips: "I live in rural Alabama currently.  There isn’t that many great landscape opportunities to be had here.  When I come across one, I try to take full advantage of it. I learned about an actual waterfall near my house the other day.  Its about 15 feet high and crescent shaped as the land contours out of town.  The Alabama red clay has been eroded to the bedrock and the falls formed as the water cut through the soft clay. Its actually a pretty nice little fall, albeit seasonal and based on the rainfall. The water tumbles in a moderate flow over the bedrock into a small sandy pool before bubbling through some large pocked boulders on its continuing journey down the creek."
