Satz, these photos are nice man. A few points you can note: (1) somehow they lack contrast ... is this because of haze present in the environment (water particles)? (2) sometimes the scene is so bright, slow shutter speed of the order ~1/4 seconds can be too slow and the picture may appear too bright. Especially all the white areas will blow out (no details). There are a few ways to counter this problem: 1, use slower ISO film 2, use a grey ND filter or 3, use a polarizer (which will cut some light).

You reminded me of my trip to Shivasamudram long time back ... [used a polarizer then]

Thanks Kousik, After i bought my tripod i was waiting to shoot falls.. this is my first try..
Ya. I shoot most of them at around 1/3 or 1/2 tats y its looking brighter :)
and tat day was cloudy.. otherwise it wld hav been more brighter :P

I dont use any filters.. I need to buy a polarizer, close up filters nd red filter for BW.. may be this month/year end I shd hav those.. Do u think I need any other filter?

Your pictures are amazing.. u got d b'ful sky with clouds.. tat makes d picture more intresting ;)
Did u shoot them in ur DSLR? in DSLR u hav option to set film speed but it's not the case with Film SLR :(

lovely, we had planned to go there afew months back. somebody said, there is not enough water in the falls and had decided against it.

I don't understand the art of photography. can only appreciate the beauty of nature. I can edit it in photoshop:-)
