This Week on The Grid: How to Photograph Waterfalls

This week on The Grid,  Scott Kelby and Erik Kuna were joined by waterfall and night photographer Kevin Adams for a great discussion on how to photograph waterfalls and get the look you want in-camera.

Kevin covered one of the biggest questions photographers have when shooting waterfalls: what shutter speed should you use? Rather than relying on one setting for every scene, he explained how different shutter speeds change the look and feel of moving water and why experimenting with several exposures can give you more options.

He also shared why a polarizing filter is one of his most important tools for waterfall photography, how overcast and even rainy conditions can work in your favor, and why finding a strong foreground can add depth and dimension to the scene. Kevin even shared tips for photographing waterfalls at night for a completely different look.

Scott and Erik also shared the latest news on the 18th annual Worldwide Photo Walk, happening Saturday, October 3, plus updates on Photoshop World and upcoming photography workshops and events.

If waterfalls are on your shooting list, this episode has plenty of ideas to try the next time you head out.
