Last summer, I tried taking pictures of fast moving objects when we went to Whitsundays for diving. These shutter speeds are also good for freezing the object on your images. If you want to make a moving object look blurred, try f/30 or f/60.Bertie Westcoathttp://www.whitsundaydive.com.au/scuba-diving/dive-prices.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25633559.post-69875822059326155922010-04-07T21:01:03.640-04:002010-04-07T21:01:03.640-04:00Thanks John for the following comment.

It does vignette on the wide to mid range of the 17-40 (and full-frame camera), so I just zoom in or use a bigger lens (ie. 24-70). Hope this helps.<br />EthanEthan Meleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924290992556030486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25633559.post-80256436215450888702010-03-29T07:29:45.306-04:002010-03-29T07:29:45.306-04:00Very timely advice -- I just wish you had posted t...Very timely advice -- I just wish you had posted this on Friday as my wife and I were out shooting waterfalls Saturday. We did manage to get some nice slow shutter speed shots but I can clearly see the need for a neutral density and polarizing filter. I know you use a 17-40 -- when you shoot with it do you use a screw on filter or rectangle filter with a holder? I've been considering the Singh-Ray Duo filter since that one seems to do it all but am worried about vignetting issues with the 17-40. We shot with a 5D classic and 7D of that matters.Zack Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098361844152486307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25633559.post-10027211198215074652010-03-27T09:32:17.079-04:002010-03-27T09:32:17.079-04:00Thanks for the very specific advice on how to phot...Thanks for the very specific advice on how to photograph waterfalls.
