Blurred Waterfall

Another day, another picture. Once again I have remembered to go out armed with my camera, and once again I have remembered to check that it is loaded with a CF card.

Due to not being in work tonight, I decided to head out with my tripod, with the aim of playing about with different shutter speeds taking shots of a waterfall near the house. Took a few shots with quick speeds, and then set the tripod up for some longer exposures. At the smallest aperture settings available on the kit lens (can't remember exactly, but at the long end it was either 32 or 36) this allowed me shutter speeds over 8s, which provided me with some nice blurred shots.

I think you've got the blur spot on in this one, although I might have opened the aperture up maybe 1/3 or 2/3 of a stop.

The composition's great -- the foliage and foreground provide a frame and the leading lines are there through the water. I also really like the diffuse highlights on the wet rocks.
