p.1 #1 · to view a waterfall naturally


Every image of waterfall is taken at long, sometime very long exposure. sometimes I wish I could see it as nature offers: no long exposure. My question is: Is there any way to work back from the long exposure?

You should take the shots at many different times exposures. Then pick the one that gives you the best effect of the running water, or possibly combine several shots to get a result better than the shots that you took. I don't know how you could get a good result any other way. No technique in POST that I know of is capable of what you are asking.

Go back and do it again at human shutter speeds. Start at roughly 1/50 and a few stops around that.

Most people start to “see" smooth video at 24 to 30 frames per second. That would probably be the limit on the lower end of your shutter speed.

At 180° shutter angle that 24FPS is 1/48th.
