Since I live in boring old Oklahoma, there isnt a whole lot for scenery. But theres the Myriad Botanical Gardens in downtown Oklahoma City. They have a small waterfall there, but you cant take your tripod inside unless you pay an extra $25 on top of the $6 admission fee. And once inside, they way the place is laid out, its hard to get a good angle on the waterfall.
Anyway, let me know what you think, what I did right or what I did wrong. If the colors are off, I only have a laptop at home to edit on and its not callibrated.

| Just a quick thought about tripod fees, what about using a monopod?? |

was there any kind of railing or bench nearby? sometimes a beanbag or even a ziploc bag with rice or something (flour probably works best, but it can look suspicious to the casual observer), can provide enough of a cushion for the camera to sit on without having to lug in (and pay) for a tripod.

| There's no real good place to try and get a good shot with or without the tripod. They make a deal about staying on the paths but have built a walkway that goes in front of and behind the waterfall. It was rather frustrating. Ill just have to make the drive to a real waterfall and not this man made one |

I put it off for years trying to convince myself that waterfalls don't look their best with neutral density filters.
I was lying to myself.....
You have to use a tripod with the long exposures, and it's worth it.

Try Turner Falls on I-35 south of OKC. It's not that long of a drive.
This was taken from the lookout that's above the park.
