[QUOTE="Keen Ai, post: 412340, member: 20820"] I know exactly where these pics were shot in CO, as I've been there myself! Keep in mind what type of photography you are trying to advertise yourself with and what purpose those photos would serve to your clients. As an example -- with your second photo and the rushing water -- if you're trying to sell that to someone who is going to blow it up, frame it and stick it on their wall, you absolutely must use a tripod in that situation and get a sharp background. Hand-holding a pic like that with slow shutters to blur water will result in nothing more than snapshots for your own enjoyment and nostalgia. The market is over-saturated with beautiful waterfall shots that are, from a technical standpoint, vastly superior to yours due to their use of tripods, ND filters, thoughtful composition, etc. How blurry a pictures fine details are when zoomed in will affect how it looks when printed at various sizes on various media, so it goes back to my original statement... know the purpose of the picture and know what level of detail you need to get in the final pic.
