I shot this "waterfall" at the fountain and Koi pond in front of the MT Supermarket in the Chinatown Center strip mall. I wanted to do a dramatic long exposure to get a nice water effect but during midday, the best I could manage was a 1/2 second exposure. The Olympus XZ-1, that I was testing, has a built-in 3 stop neutral density filter but since f8 was the smallest aperture I could set, I couldn't get my desired long exposure.
