Loved the video! Could you please start putting the camera settings you used of all the photos you show in your videos? People may learn the settings they prefer working with if they are shown camera setting examples. Keep up the amazing work!
Hey Mark, I noticed on your website you sell prints. Maybe an idea for an upcoming video might be what your settings are for printing, where you have your images printed, etc. Thanks!
Just what I needed. I shot 3 waterfalls this weekend. I took a wide range of shutter speeds....now I need to select the ones that I like best based on what you have taught.
Seascapes as lack of hills where I live so have to travel (outside of lockdowns) for waterfalls. I agree with shutter speed comments. When I first got filters I was addicted to long shutter speeds and almost blowing out the highlights completely for mad milky water effects. I’ve since enjoyed thinking more carefully about what I want. Sometimes a faster shutter can show drama but it’s really down to what you see and want from the shot. It’s great fun experimenting. Sometimes I end up liking one of the shots I didn’t think would make the shortlist.
Hi Mark. Love your videos. This video would have been much more useful if you have included the shutter speed used in the example photos. I still don't have any idea what shutter speed I should use to get a certain effect.
Its really impossible to give an exact shutter speed to use as it depends on the flow of the water, but I generally like to use something between 1/5th and 1/50th of a second, but if I'm trying to capture a heavy flowing scene I'll often use a fast shutter speed around 1/100th and 1/250th of a second. Hope that helps!
@@MarkDenneyPhoto Sort of. I understand that you can't give a formula shutter speed, but if you gave the settings for the photos that would help us visualize what shutter speed gave that result. I realize that some of it is trial/error/repeat until get where you want to be. Thx!
I have to agree with one of the previous comments I’ve seen, you do an amazing job of explaining yourself! At times, some of the videos I’ve seen from various photographers ‘although amazing photographers’ just leave me feeling overwhelmed with the information. If that makes sense? Your videos are to the point and very understanding. Thanks and keep up the excellent content!
I have been taking many photographs recently of waterfalls and coastal seascapes. This video has really made me think twice about sticking on the 10 stop all the time. Varying the shutter speed to suit the environment of the scene makes perfect sense. Thanks Mark
Certainly a very big help to me Mark. I will pay much more attention to the details of what I can do just with shutter speed. I will experiment instead of just deciding to shoot a single shot with little or no forethought. Thank you Mark. Stay safe.
I've been a subscriber for over a year. When I have time, I go back to your archives and view your videos that I haven't seen. I absolutely love the watermill and falls that you photographed in West Virginia. Do you give locations? If not I understand but I'd love to to find a place like that to shoot. Indiana just doesn't have scenes quite like that. I think winter, spring, or fall could offer some great images there. Thanks for all your posts. I'm a part time professional photographer and I still enjoy learning from others.
Love shooting the waterfalls in my area (middle TN). Too many to count. But what I love most is the approach. The hike into the area enjoying the environment, the creeks and streams you follow into the woods. I like it best hitting these areas early in the morning where you get to spend more time alone while you hike. No sense of rushing trying to make it to the spot to get your shot.
I've found it's trial and error and it depends on the speed of flow and what look you want. I like some structure in my flow shots so I tend to end up with a shutter speed of 0.5s for slow flows down to 0.1s for fast flows. Once you get into the 2-5s exposures it's getting very blurred. To freeze water I start at 1/250th and enlarge the image on the viewscreen and adjuse shutter speed depending on that I see in the viewer.
Thank you for the pictures you show. For me, the most important is sped time you used for all kinds of pictures you took. You said just literature not the technical aspect of shutter speed.
Hi Mark! I wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos. After about 12 years of owning my camera, I am finally taking the plunge to learn how to actually use it. The material you present is clear and very easy to understand when everything else is so confusing! Thank you!
So glad you examined faster shutter speed for moving water detail. It seems many people think you have to blur the water to achieve "fine art" photos, producing almost cliched images. Personally I much prefer to see the dynamics of the water movement, which is what seascapes and waterfalls are all about to me.
Acadia is right in my back yard and is one of my favorite places to shoot... being so close i don't get there as often as i would like! that is my goal though, to photograph there more
I think the only other item I would have found helpful was to know the shutter speeds you used in the examples you showed. This would have helped to understand what shutter speeds produce what results. I needed a refresher on this topic because it had been a while since I photographed landscape that had water.
Thanks for the tips. I am in a mission to take photographs of the Rhode Island coastline and I saw this video. I forgot I already saw this but I still watched it for review purposes. Funny that you also have the photo of Bass Lighthouse with a photographer in your composition, I also had my only photo of the lighthouse and there was a photographer camping in my composition.
Thanks for the info. Would be great if you could include the actual settings you used for each shot. You mention the ranges and provide examples, but a specific would help.
Thanks. Wonderful video with great examples! Images taken at both ends of the scale of the same object, slow/fast, would have made an even greater impact, I think. But then, I'am slow to learn.
Dropped out of Out of Death Valley and plan to do Out of Acadia if it happens in October. Hope you plan to be there. You videos are always worth watching. And your images are inspiring. Stay safe
Nice examples. Always look forward to watching your videos. I was at Acadia last October. I took a very similar shot you did of the Bass Harbor light house. I struggled, but made it crawling and working my way down those rocks.
Thank you, Mark. I agree with you about 'blended shutter speeds'. For me, somewhere inbetween works in many situations. Also, there is a difference of opinion amongst some of my clients about milky water. Some hate it while others love it!
Hey Mark, this is a great topic. As a newbie, I usually struggle with shutter speed. Question: how do you handle other moving objects when using a slower shutter speed? Imagine you're framing a waterfall in the middle some some trees. You want that smooth look on the water, but if leaves shake during the exposure, they will look blurry too, right? Bracketing and merge? Thanks for all this great content!
Mark, I really have enjoyed all the videos recently, first because they were done in my backyard of Arcadia National Park. Secondly they hit some excellent basics needed to enhance everyone's photographic improvement. This weeks video is of a great help mainly because here in Maine there are nearly 2000 waterfalls to photograph. Some however are only found when the seasons come on with large amounts of moisture. The many types of flow as well as what story you want tell when capturing these water flows are as you indicated here this week dependent on shutter speed. This was a great stop and think video. Added to some of your others on stacking and focus for landscape are a great combo for improving the results I am learning. Been following your journey toward full time professional and your style has replaced many of the photographers in the landscape I was following over the past three years. They have great stories teller videos but lack the technical insights you are offering all your followers. Thanks for inviting us into your thought process on landscape photography.
I have struggled with this issue until now. Your simple explanation really helps me clarify how to approach the water speed issue. I was making a binary choice of slow bad and fast good. I was not analyzing mood nearly as much as I should. Thanks.
Many thanks Mark for another very clear tutorial on how to create different water scenes by varying the shutter speeds. Not bad for the Master of landscapes, very versatile!
I always enjoy your videos. You explain things in a way that is easy to understand. Shutter speed has been of my stumbling blocks, but I think I have a better grasp of it now. Thank You! I also always watch your videos on my 50" tv, seeing your photos on a big screen is awesome. They are always beautiful. Cheers Glenn
Great point of view on this, Mark. Thanks for sharing your aha-moment to help us all choose our shutter speed more definitively in these varying scenes. I really appreciate it, and I can’t fathom how anyone could take exception enough to hit a thumbs-down on this, or any of your videos. It boggles the mind how the perceived anonymity of the internet brings out meaningless hatred in some people. Please continue to share your talent and insight for the many more of us who value it.
The stream image at about the 13minute mark brought a thought to my head. Have you ever done shutter speed stacking; like focus stacking but using different speeds to give differing effects to the water? Like use a fast speed for the far away portion of the stream and then slower speeds for the closer sections.
Another great video Mark. I always understood fast shutter speed freezes and slow shutter speed blurs and gives the impression of movement but have never really thought about what I actually want to portray in an image before I shoot it. Thanks for this, I'm learning all the time. Cheers
I have learned a lot from your Lr Ps videos. I still struggle with file size. Most You Tubers don't mention image or file size, perhaps I should not worry about it. It seems depending on the intended use for the image different photographers have different opinions on the size of the end product. How and when do you become concern with file size ?
Mark, I have been a fan of your for almost the entire time you have been on CZcams. I loved this video, but it would have helped me immensely if you had show the settings you used on your particular photos in this video. For example, fast shutter speed 1/100 sec or greater. There is a huge range in that statement. Blended shutter speed, less than 1/100 sec to 2 sec, again a huge range. Please give specifics in the next video, I get what fast and slow shutter speeds do to water, but it would help me to have specific examples. Thanks!
Your video was so enlightening for me. In watching I realized I need to practice and develop my blended shutter speed skill. I can do long exposure and fast but have to get that blended skill up to the same standard. Thanks Mark for another awesome video 👍🏻
Great video! I have just recently found your channel and have enjoyed the videos I have watched. I like the way you explain things in a way that are easy to understand.
Mark, you always do a fantastic job educating about photography. You are very articulate and explain things very well. Keep up the great work. Love your photography too!!
I think this is my favourite video from you, thanks a lot! I do a lot of long exposures but I definitely will look at blended photos. The waves looked fantastic in your photos at a medium shutter speed 👍🏻👍🏻
I always knew that slowing the shutter down gave the smooth water look but you have put it in a way I hadn't thought about and the difference look you can get from one to the other is great thank you for another good video
Most of my water shots are the ocean as I am fortunate enough to live on the California Mendocino coast line. Great for photographing. Thanks again for your excellent videos. On this one I wish you could have shown the shutter speeds with each of your photos as an example to us. Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much Micheal - I really do appreciate that. I was going to put the actually SS I used in those images, but I was afraid folks would get get too hung up on the actual setting since the amount of flow or movement of the water always changes the result of the shutter speed chosen.
Superb "walk thry"... on Shutter Speed in creating "a mood" photograph.. thks Mike ... & Squarespace... wonder if Squarespace works here in India.. cheers, Vernon, Mumbai
Seascapes, but just moved to north spain more waterfalls than were i lived before, really exciting. Im practically at the stage of trying to get right the 3 different shutter speeds technically. Looking for a look till today, now ill look for that story. Thanks Mark!
Mark, you did a great job 👏🏼 of using slow, fast, and blended shutter speed in landscape photography. Going forward, I will think about when approaching a scene of interest I would like 👍 to photograph. I never 💭 about shutting speed and how I could influence the look and feel of my final image. Thanks 😊 very much for this presentation on the use of shutter speeds. Regards Richard
Great video Mark. You’re an excellent teacher. Are you happy with your new Fuji or do you prefer your Sony? Also, what tripod did you take for your trip to Acadia National Park?
Thanks again Mark for some really good info, shooting mainly seascapes I tend to go with the long shutter speed and smooth out the water. I will be definitely changing the way I look at the scene and make a decision on what will portray the best of what is there. 👏👏
Hi again, what is the best combination for rainbows and waterfalls. Time of day, angle of sunlight, I think a long exposure with a cpl works well, What do you think?
Thank you Mark for a wonderful tutorial. You opened up for me more possibilities experimenting on shutter speeds. I normally go for aperture priority mode even with ND filter on.
great job Mark! I don't photograph either river or sea. I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert, LOL! The desert is a very fun thing to photograph except between the months of July and October. Lots of contrast!
Great video as always Mark you’ve got a skill for teaching and explaining, even when you are speaking about something I feel very familiar with you still manage to keep me engaged and often teach me something new!
great vid as always. but i think what would help give some better ideas of "fast shutter speed" or "slow shutter speed" would be to post the actual shutter speed with this images. Like you said, a slow shutter speed is subjective and it would help a lot to actually see what you shot those images at.just a suggestion.. keep up the great work
When considering a slower shutter speed, do you also take into account any breeze or wind conditions and the impact on tree limb movement? Do you just shoot with the slower shutter speed anyway and live with limb/ leaf movement?
Excellent video/tutorial as usual Mark. I noticed six thumbs down on this video, someone explain to me what is there to dislike about it, I honestly don’t get it.
Thank you so much for sharing educating videos people like me beginners to understand the concepts and techniques. I’m planning to purchase my very first DSLR which is Nikon D750 along with 85mm 1.8 + 50mm 1.8 G lens. I’m wondering is it still worth to buy this camera considering 5 years old?. Or should i invest in mirrorless which is Z6ii with kit lens. My only concern is from d750 is 1/4000 shutter speed unlike d780 and Z6ii 1/8000 and 900 seconds, I’m not quite sure this is show stopper. Purpose of buying a camera is for taking Portraits, Still, Landscape, Bird, Product photography (learning) and of course my kids. It would be really great if you throw some lights on my concern to make a wise decision.... other options I have considered is Nikon D780 with one of the lens and Z6ii with the kit lens... apart from D780 and Z6ii I have been suggesting to go with D850 with the kit lens. Thank you and looking forward to your recommendation.
I tried freezing a creek ... however it turned out being a frustration. 1st the creek was flowing with a small waterfall ... I wanted to try smooth out the water, so I used a slower Shutter speed (in Shutter Priority mode). I had the ISO on the lowest (100). The more I turned down the shutter speed the more blown out the image became. Nothing I tried seemed to help .... SUGGESTIONS????
Another great video full of tips, thank you! I think at the beginning of my photographic journey I tried to long exposure every shot where there was some water in the frame 😅 Now as you brilliantly explain, I try to decide between long or short exposure first, and then "how" long or how short the exposure should be. Usually with a couple of test shots.
Thanks for this video, the idea of building emotions in a photograph through different shutter speeds is very useful, just being aware of this now will improve my photos. What I would love is any comments on what you did to 'complete the equation'. For instance when there isn't anything moving you use shutter speed to get the exposure right. I know that for photographers focusing on wildlife they would use ISO to get the exposure right (they seem to be ok with much higher ISO than other types of photographers). So what about you here? I would imagine the ISO and aperture is also very important, no?
Waterfalls or Seascapes? Which do you shoot more often?
Actually where I live neither of both. Do riverscapes count? ☺️
Seascapes because the sea is near my house, but to be honest I prefer waterfalls!
Hands down waterfalls! Even though I live minutes from the beach waterfalls just fascinate and inspire me ☺️
Waterfalls. The ocean is too far away..:(. But I do like waterfalls more..:)
I have done a bit of both, I prefer seascapes I would say 👍🏻👍🏻
Loved the video! Could you please start putting the camera settings you used of all the photos you show in your videos? People may learn the settings they prefer working with if they are shown camera setting examples. Keep up the amazing work!
Hey Mark, I noticed on your website you sell prints. Maybe an idea for an upcoming video might be what your settings are for printing, where you have your images printed, etc. Thanks!
was about to comment the same thing. Eg composition, cropping and resizing for a certain frame size etc.
I really enjoy watching your videos and always learn something new. Your presentation style is very calming and easy to listen to.
I agree! Every time you crop an image by dragging one side over, I'm always wondering about printing non-standard sizes.
To be honest Mark, the Quality of your presentation is the best I have seen in years. All the best!
Just what I needed. I shot 3 waterfalls this weekend. I took a wide range of shutter speeds....now I need to select the ones that I like best based on what you have taught.
Hello Mark, this is one of the finest videos I have ever seen about using the shutter speed differently along with beautiful examples.
Seascapes as lack of hills where I live so have to travel (outside of lockdowns) for waterfalls. I agree with shutter speed comments. When I first got filters I was addicted to long shutter speeds and almost blowing out the highlights completely for mad milky water effects. I’ve since enjoyed thinking more carefully about what I want. Sometimes a faster shutter can show drama but it’s really down to what you see and want from the shot. It’s great fun experimenting.

Hope that helps!
@@MarkDenneyPhoto Sort of. I understand that you can't give a formula shutter speed, but if you gave the settings for the photos that would help us visualize what shutter speed gave that result. I realize that some of it is trial/error/repeat until get where you want to be. Thx!
@@MarkDenneyPhoto . Thanks for the reply, enjoyed your Photo’s.

I've been a subscriber for over a year. When I have time, I go back to your archives and view your videos that I haven't seen. I absolutely love the watermill and falls that you photographed in West Virginia. Do you give locations? If not I understand but I'd love to to find a place like that to shoot.

Spot on Mickey! 100% agree with everything you said.
I wished you had actually mentioned the exact shutter speed on each photo rather than saying fast, blended, slow. Other than that, great as always!
I agree, would be good to have some data to put into perspective in your photos
What shutter speed are you using at 8:19 ?
Any chance you can add the shutter speeds of these shots to desc?
I've found it's trial and error and it depends on the speed of flow and what look you want. I like some structure in my flow shots so I tend to end up with a shutter speed of 0.5s for slow flows down to 0.1s for fast flows. Once you get into the 2-5s exposures it's getting very blurred. To freeze water I start at 1/250th and enlarge the image on the viewscreen and adjuse shutter speed depending on that I see in the viewer.
Mark, please let me know what shutter speed you are using at 3:00.
Splendid video, Mark. That's a great option -the blended shutter speed. And great examples. I live and learn. Thanks.
Many thanks John!

Indispensable as usual. Shutter speed to tell a story. Dear Mark, you made my day, again. Greetings from 🇨🇭

This is great to hear Glenn! Thanks for letting me know.
I never thought of using a slow shutter speed for still water. Thanks!
The shutter sound synced with your hands was a nice touch
Thank ya - all about the details!
Great video. I find that the best shutter speed for water is .5” to 1.5”. It gives details and movement at the same time.
Hello Mark, Tonight i saw for the first your video. I just started with fotografie.
Fantastic information per usual Mark! Thank you so much! Lately, I have been shooting waterfalls but my heart belongs to seascapes!
Thanks a million Christal! I’m torn between the two - not sure which I like more.

Another great video with great, pertinent information Mark.
The stream image at about the 13minute mark brought a thought to my head. Have you ever done shutter speed stacking; like focus stacking but using different speeds to give differing effects to the water? Like use a fast speed for the far away portion of the stream and then slower speeds for the closer sections.
Yep I sure have👍
Watch out for dans peter iverson, i think he has tutorials on it
Another great video Mark. I always understood fast shutter speed freezes and slow shutter speed blurs and gives the impression of movement but have never really thought about what I actually want to portray in an image before I shoot it.
Thanks for this, I'm learning all the time. Cheers
This is great to hear - glad the video was helpful!
Very informative and easily explained. Thank you for your effort.
Glad to do it and thank you for watching it!
When out photographing do get concerned about ticks. If so what do you do to protect yourself from getting them on you?

Going forward, I will think about when approaching a scene of interest I would like 👍 to photograph. I never 💭 about shutting speed and how I could influence the look and feel of my final image. Thanks 😊 very much for this presentation on the use of shutter speeds. Regards Richard
Thanks for this tutorial Mark
Wish I’d watched this before I went shooting, the creek, this morning. Thanks for the tips!
Very educating video thanks for creating, I learnt something to try out.
Mike, very well explained in your own clear concise way. Thank you and very useful advise here
Great video Mark. You’re an excellent teacher. Are you happy with your new Fuji or do you prefer your Sony? Also, what tripod did you take for your trip to Acadia National Park?
Very happy so far - really enjoy it. I took the Really Right Stuff TVC34L
How can anyone give a dislike on a rich tutorial like this? Incredible. Congratulations Mark for your superb class work and excelent explanations!!
Thanks so much!
Great video. I love Babcock SP and the mill. One of my favorite places to go to, no matter what season.
Thanks so much Lynn!
Thanks again Mark for some really good info, shooting mainly seascapes I tend to go with the long shutter speed and smooth out the water. I will be definitely changing the way I look at the scene and make a decision on what will portray the best of what is there. 👏👏
I always enjoy watching your video's Mark. You are a calm and easy to follow "teacher" 😉. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this!
Love this one, Mark! I'm always playing with shutter speed to see what looks best, but now I actually have a starting point! Perfect!
Great to hear it was helpful Donna.
Thank you for linking the shutter speed to the intended mood of the shot, that will help my in my photography ❤️
Glad to hear the video was helpful Stefan!
Hi again, what is the best combination for rainbows and waterfalls. Time of day, angle of sunlight, I think a long exposure with a cpl works well, What do you think?
Thank you Mark for a wonderful tutorial. You opened up for me more possibilities experimenting on shutter speeds. I normally go for aperture priority mode even with ND filter on.
Thanks for watching - it’s great to hear the video was helpful!
Thanks! This was very informative.
Thank you Mark, excellent video for how to use shutter speeds for moods and storytelling.
Really glad you think so Lori!
great job Mark! I don't photograph either river or sea. I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert, LOL! The desert is a very fun thing to photograph except between the months of July and October. Lots of contrast!
Great video as always Mark you’ve got a skill for teaching and explaining, even when you are speaking about something I feel very familiar with you still manage to keep me engaged and often teach me something new!
Such a great compliment - thank you!
great vid as always. but i think what would help give some better ideas of "fast shutter speed" or "slow shutter speed" would be to post the actual shutter speed with this images. Like you said, a slow shutter speed is subjective and it would help a lot to actually see what you shot those images at.just a suggestion.. keep up the great work
unbelievable video mark👍
thanks so much!
once again very well taught. Always enjoy your videos. I find them very helpful.
Really appreciate that Jack!
Great advice! I try to "feel" the scene is how I determine the shutter speed.
Great advice... Most of my photo shots are of ocean so next time I am shooting waterfalls I will use your advice... thanks..
Many thanks Robert!
I agree 100% how you see it....Thanks..
When considering a slower shutter speed, do you also take into account any breeze or wind conditions and the impact on tree limb movement? Do you just shoot with the slower shutter speed anyway and live with limb/ leaf movement?
Great question. I was wondering the same thing too.
Always good information on your channel and always presented very well. NC retired teacher, I know a good teacher when I see one!! Thanks!
That means a lot - thank you!
Nice job, well explained.Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Bernard!
ASMR all the way... Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Happy to do it!
Beautiful photographs thanks for the tips
Thanks so much Perry!
Just got back yesterday from a 4 day hiking/waterfall photography trip in Shenandoah and George Washington National Forest.
Hope you enjoyed it! Sounds like a great time!
@@MarkDenneyPhoto absolutely! Your NRS neoprene socks recommendation allowed me to get some great comps numerous times so tyvm.
@@doubleehokie Such a game changer!
Excellent video/tutorial as usual Mark. I noticed six thumbs down on this video, someone explain to me what is there to dislike about it, I honestly don’t get it.
Glad you enjoyed it friend! Hope you’ve been well
Thank you so much for sharing educating videos people like me beginners to understand the concepts and techniques.
I’m planning to purchase my very first DSLR which is Nikon D750 along with 85mm 1.8 + 50mm 1.8 G lens. I’m wondering is it still worth to buy this camera considering 5 years old?. Or should i invest in mirrorless which is Z6ii with kit lens. My only concern is from d750 is 1/4000 shutter speed unlike d780 and Z6ii 1/8000 and 900 seconds, I’m not quite sure this is show stopper.
Purpose of buying a camera is for taking Portraits, Still, Landscape, Bird, Product photography (learning) and of course my kids.
It would be really great if you throw some lights on my concern to make a wise decision.... other options I have considered is Nikon D780 with one of the lens and Z6ii with the kit lens... apart from D780 and Z6ii I have been suggesting to go with D850 with the kit lens.
Thank you and looking forward to your recommendation.
I tried freezing a creek ... however it turned out being a frustration. 1st the creek was flowing with a small waterfall ... I wanted to try smooth out the water, so I used a slower Shutter speed (in Shutter Priority mode). I had the ISO on the lowest (100). The more I turned down the shutter speed the more blown out the image became. Nothing I tried seemed to help .... SUGGESTIONS????
Another great video full of tips, thank you! I think at the beginning of my photographic journey I tried to long exposure every shot where there was some water in the frame 😅
Now as you brilliantly explain, I try to decide between long or short exposure first, and then "how" long or how short the exposure should be. Usually with a couple of test shots.
Excited to hear that you enjoyed the video and that it was helpful!
Awesome Tips :) Thanks Mark.
Great to hear - thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks for this video, the idea of building emotions in a photograph through different shutter speeds is very useful, just being aware of this now will improve my photos. What I would love is any comments on what you did to 'complete the equation'. For instance when there isn't anything moving you use shutter speed to get the exposure right. I know that for photographers focusing on wildlife they would use ISO to get the exposure right (they seem to be ok with much higher ISO than other types of photographers). So what about you here? I would imagine the ISO and aperture is also very important, no?
Nice tips Mark...keep going
