One of the really fun things about the Samsung NX300 is that it comes with 14 scene-specific modes that can enhance your shot. Some of these modes include: night, sunset, silhouette, fireworks, and waterfall. In this post, we’ll focus on the Waterfall mode and how you can use it to create a variety of interesting effects out of moving water.
A good thing to note is that the waterfall mode isn’t just for shooting waterfalls. It can also be used to shoot a river, lake, or beach. To use the feature, simply adjust your NX300 mode dial to “S,” then touch “Fn” and select “Waterfall.”
TIP: Use a tripod to stabilize your camera in waterfall mode to avoid a blurry scene.
Waterfall mode captures the movement of water and can even make moving water look like a veil of vapor. In some photos, this can create a ghostly effect with a solemn and melancholic feeling.
In other shots, it captured the actual inundation of waves coming in and out of shore, creating a layered pattern.
And when the sunlight is just right, mixed with the silkiness of the water, you are able to get an ethereal effect.
So don’t be shy about thinking outside of the box when it comes to using the Smart Modes. You can get a good variety of shots once you choose to get creative!
