I love the waterfall, but I love waterfalls fullstop.
K20D and a few different lenses. Plus I'm a complete noob.

The waterfall is fantastic, looks like a delicate curtain. Nice!
Kind regards,

Yup - I'm a sucker for waterfalls too. Lovely shot. I've gone down to 1/20th with hand held and SR and the shots were sharp - never tried 1/6th though. Seems to work well.
On a dark desert highway, cool Pentax K5 in my hand.

I surprised myself with this shot the other day - 2/3s handheld at 26mm. Absolutely fine at this sort of size. I've gone down to 1/20th with hand held and SR and the shots were sharp - never tried 1/6th though. Seems to work well.
K10D, 16-45mm @ 26mm, 0.7s, f/6.7, ISO100, polariser, handheld, shake reduction ON!

K-3, a macro lens and a DA*300mm...

And you didn't think to exclaim "oh theres muck on my camera" followed by a quick rinse under the waterfall

Thanks for the comments, I have gone lower but 1/6th seems to be a safe limit for me - trick is not to breath!

I'll certainly have a go at 1/6th if I don't have my tripod with me. How did Daniel manage with 2/3 seconds???

I have used 1/4 successfully before (Low Light Pictures) and played with going as low as 1 sec! It is more luck when you get to this speed. You need to have feet apart elbows tucked in, hold you breath and hope that your heart beats before and after the shutter is released, not during!

Evolution
DA*16-50 (Hand held @ 1/6)
In the blink of a bird eye
DA*50-135 (cropped)
Not a good shot as not sharp, he was having a dust bath. Was surprised when I looked at the photo, though it was dust, till I looked closer!
Golden Pheasant
DA*50-135, Metz 48 flash
Managed to get within three feet of this bird, he was on one side of a tree and I the other!
