Whilst on holiday I took the oportunity to photograph at the Eden Project and Newquay Harbour.
My two main aims were, to capture water movement using longer exposures, and test the ability/limitation of my Sigma 300mm lens. I'v not played with these images, they are as they came off the card.
I would welcome your feedback and advice.

To tell the truth, I am very much a beginner when it comes to DSLR, these were captured using manual modes (Shutter Priority & Appeture Priority)

Body is a Canon 1100D

Waterfall
EXP: 1/30 sec
ISO: 100
F-Stop: f/9
Lens: Sigma 70-300mm



Boat In Harbour
EXP: 1/1250 sec
ISO: 100
F-Stop: f/4
Lens: Sigma 70-300mm

 
Love the waterfall. Can't wait to find somewhere like that to try for myself
 
Hi Lee, you have captured the movement of the water nicely indeed IMO, not sure about missing the source/direct feed helps so I take it it is much higher up ? #2 not sure what you are trying to capture the boat or the people?
 
I like them both, you've presented a well composed waterfall with nice blurry water and I like the overall scene in the second and feel the inclusion of people as well as the boats is a good idea.

Thanks Kevin, here is the un-crop version including the source, it was taken inside the Dome hence I cropped. Need to master photoshop for this one.

 
Oh right so man made features about not that is a bad thing, going to really test you now where is the end of the waerfall then ?

Essentially I was trying to test the capability of my 300mm Sigma lens, the boat was quite a distance away, I really wanted the DOF to blur the people, but when I got them out of focus so was the boat, any tips?
 
Sorry Lee no tips, I'm affraied I dont have a focul lengh of 300mm, only advice I can offer is, if I'm not happy with what I see then dont press the shutter

However their are plenty of fellow members who will I'm sure be able to help out
