Those waders you should have been fly fishing, great little stream and great tips. Loved the cascade image Andrew.

My goodness, Andrew. You put yourself through it for us. I held my breath a couple of times while you were wading. Great photos as ever. I always prefer milky water shots. We have some great looking spiders in the UK. I would rather encounter that size. LOL Sadly, my 5D ii packed up. I debated replacing it with another, but considered the age of them now. I couldn't justify moving to a 5D iv, so decided to purchase a 6D mark ii. There has been controversy over its dynamic range, but for me it doesn't matter. The bonus is a fully articulated touch screen and improved weather sealing. It only has one card slot which is an SD slot. I am going to post an AGFA photo high speed 300X 32GB CF card and an Extreme 6th generation CF Adapter to you. I can no longer use them. I only ever pushed a couple of hundred photos through the main CF card. There might be a few on there which you can delete. I forgot to do it before I got rid of the camera LOL. Take it steady in the water and catch you on the next video. 😁

Thanks Antony for the gift, I'll let you know when it arrives 😁 Hope the new camera does you proud. I to was tempted by a 5D I but I resited, it's not the right time yet 😂 I was supprised by how photogenic that little gully had become over the 20 years since I last explored it. Thanks for watching 😁

Sorry for the late comment Andrew. I definitely need a pair of those waders living here in West Virginia - the water is a lot colder here than Florida and plenty of rivers to get into here! Lovely location. I almost always prefer a shorter long exposure (1/3 - 1/10 second) in waterfalls - just as in my seascape photography, I like to see a little bit of definition and motion in moving water. I'm not sure removing that stick was worth the potential fall, but glad it all worked out. Some really nice images and compositions in this one, really enjoyed it! Hope you are doing well, have a great week!

Thanks Paul. It's nice to see you enjoying the cooler mountains and rivers of West Virginia. It was a bit slippery but thankfully not that deep. You have a great week too 😁

I'm glad to see someone still using the 5D Mk 2, you sir, earned a sub

I do look wistfully at the 5D mark 4. But I know it won't improve my photography 🤔

Out of the first two shots I think I preferred the shorter exposure for the texture of the water but both were nice shots. Certainly looked a struggle navigating those wet rocks but you did it like a pro. Looked like a great day out with some lovely pctures taken, thanks for taking us along on your little adventure Mr Darth Wader 😁

Thanks Pete. I was hoping someone would like the faster shutter speed photograph. It was as fast as I'd dare go at 1250 ISO. The dark side of the force didn't help me with those wet rocks and I'll have to work on the sound next time 😁
