When photographing a waterfall the temptation is often to pop the camera on a tripod, add an ND filter and drop the shutter speed to 1sec to produce that classic, silky stream look.
Today, I did the exact opposite, cranking my shutter speed to 1/8000sec, with auto ISO and a wide open aperture to produce the abstract images below.
I'm happy with the results and will probably pursue this more in future visits to the woods.

An extremely fast shutter speed freezes the motion as water plunges headlong over a waterfall in the woods, producing abstract shapes from the torrent that looks like crystal clear ice frozen in time

@Dolphinchaz Thanks Charlie, the biggest challenge was keeping the ISO at a manageable level (which a light denoise in post managed to tame).

@stevenlawson Aye, if you're away up at 1/8000th things can get a bit "grainy" 👍
