4. Use foreground features. It is important not to only include the waterfall in the picture. Lines in the foreground that lead to the waterfall and swirling leaves/bubbles both enhance the image when used properly.
3. Use a polarizing filter. A polarizing filter is used to cut down reflections. It is very useful when working around waterfalls to give the rocks around the falls their actual color instead of just a reflection.
2. Use slow shutter speeds. The use of slow shutter speeds creates a more pleasing image. It makes the image have more of a calm mood.
1. Use a tripod. If you have a tripod use it if you don't buy one (even cheap ones will work well), there is no way to use slow shutter speeds without a tripod. It also allows for a much sharper image at any shutter speed.

Nice photography tips. Don't think I've heard the polarizing filter one. Will have to try it the next time I have an opportunity. Nice photos. Thanks for sharing.
Nice tips and pictures. I've found that neutral density filters can help on bright days as well or if you just want some crazy long, 30+ second shutter speeds.

Thanks for the tips. You've got a couple of great pictures in this post.
...this is very interesting. I took some photos of the waterfall at Sharon Woods this weekend, and they turned out so-so. I was doing it all wrong. I'm going to try again soon. These tips are great. I always love your waterfall photos.
Beautiful! I like the way you used the fallen tree in the second one.
Thank you for the great tips!
Your waterfall shot is so beautiful. So powerful and elegant all at once.
