I'm just barely beginning to understand this exposure stuff. I have a lot yet to learn.
Here's a couple more from a different waterfall today. Both were shot at 1/20 second, ISO 400, the first at f10, the second at f6.3.

I like these a little better since at 1/20 sec to 1/30/sec I get the moving water effect, but no so much like cotton candy effect as my first pictures here have.

Very nicely shot.
I tried both using the burn tool and adjusting highlight contrast in rawshooter. The burn tool lowered the brightness of the lower falls but didn't bring back any detail. I suspect the detail from the jpeg was gone. I did get detail back by adjusting highlight contrast in rawshooter. So, I think that even though there was no indicator telling me highlights were blown out, they still were blown out somewhat.

This tip will be helpful to me. Thank you.
