The best neutral density filters are a huge asset for outdoor photography. And if you already own an ND filter, you’ve almost certainly photographed a waterfall. They’re often the first image budding landscape photographers turn to when they start to learn about long-exposure photography, and it’s not difficult to see why. There are hundreds of waterfalls and weirs up and down the country; fast-flowing water looks incredible blurred and people are quite simply enamoured with long-exposure photographs of waterfalls.
While you don’t have to travel to the Isle of Skye’s Fairy Pools or the Brecon Beacons’ Sgwd yr Eira to capture a great waterfall image, you do need to learn to wield your ND filters like a pro. So, whether you’re thinking of dipping your toe into blurred waters for the first time or consider yourself a seasoned waterfall veteran, read on to find out what stop ND filter to use, how to nail the correct exposure and why blending multiple images together in post can enhance your photos further. It’s time to get your feet wet.
