Long Exposure Photography- Little Waterfalls
On my hike yesterday, I found a little waterfall off the trail and took some shots using my Sony A7ii and the Smooth Reflections app on the camera. The mossy rocks, the leaves strewn about, and the smooth texture of the water made for an interesting set of photos. My pocket tripod is only six inches tall so it really works best for small scenes like this. I need to buy a full six size tripod for when I hike or travel and would appreciate any suggestions from fellow Steemers.
Today my wife and I went out for a hike in a section of the park farther upstream the same river. It had some larger waterfalls and with the rain we’ve had recently, the falls were running hard. It will take me a few days to process all those photos, but will try to post some of them later this week.

The effect on the water is just magnificent! I really like those shots mate. I'm totally ignorant about long exposure photography, how long does the camera has to stay still to achieve this effect? Is it just a few seconds or more time is required?
Best regards.

Thanks! For this effect, I use an app on my Sony Mirrorless A7ii that takes anywhere from a few to over a hundred shots and then stacks them into one photo, all in the camera. These took about a minute each to take. Without the Sony camera app, I would have to use multiple Neutral Density filters to block out light and force the shutter to stay open longer.
Awesome! When I finish collage one of the first items on my to do list will be to buy a camera and learn how to take decent shots. I really liked this effect.
Good luck with your schooling!
Wow, totally gorgeous!
Thanks!
I really love how the water looks almost frosty where it falls, really stunning photos it might be a small tripod but it did an impressive job!
