metering and shutter practice to show moving water

Add caption
I shot this scene at the lower Tumwater Falls down below the foot bridge.  I took about 15 shots of this same view practicing with different shutter speeds and metering.  I liked partial metering the best and a slow shutter with the camera on a tripod.  I thought partial metering would help with the contrast between white and dark, and the focal point being the water below the log.  I used live view.
shutter priority at .3 seconds
f/18  ISO 250
partial metering, exposure comp +1
focal length 56mm
(35mm equivalent of 89mm)

    Stephanie,
    I worked on the same thing and it looks like we both captured it, I love you photo! Funny the longer I look at it the colder I feel it make me think about how cool it was that morning. Great job!

    I can just hear the soft rushing of the water in this image; the water in the frozen motion version probably chatters or gurgles. Beautiful blue tones throughout, very restful to the eye.
