[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 87909, member: 4399"] Most lenses drop off in sharpness after f8 (see MTF charts), so you have lens diffraction to deal with along with sensor diffraction. I'm usually shooting waterfalls at about f8-f11. HDR will help create the smooth effect with lower f values. I try to shoot waterfalls on overcast days which helps slow down the shutter also (in addition to limiting blown out highlights). Another nice tool is a CP or ND filter to slow down the shutter so you can shoot falls at f8 or lower. [/QUOTE]
