Rich, those were some really beautiful waterfalls and some nice camera angles. I bet it was fun visiting all those sites. A few comments:
- I thought some of the footage was not deinterlaced. It is important to deinterlace for good web viewing.
- Also, your static shots were very well composed. But the "tilt" shots could be smoother. This might be caused by the Vimeo re-encode or not having a "fluid" tripod head.
- I have found the best waterfall shooting results to be at 1/60th of a second.
Anyway, I really enjoyed viewing your work and will view your other videos.

Thanks for the comments, Mark. I checked the project settings and deinterlace/blended was checked. I've looked into video heads - maybe in the future. My main thing is still photography, so my tripod isn't good for video panning. Some of the pans are hand held which come out even jerkier. I should probably stick with static shots, but I can't help myself sometimes. I've also considered getting some kind of steady cam stabilizer gizmo, but would like to try one out first. Thanks again!

Mr. Stevenson,
Having been born and raised on the Cherokee Indian Reservation here in the Western part of NC, I have been to all the falls listed on the TOPO maps, and even more that are not on maps.

I have seen alot of your photos on the web, may I add that you take great photographs.
This is the very first video of yours I have watched, you do a really good job behind a camera.

If you are still looking for a new head for your tripod I know of a great Ball Head. Its rated to hold 22lbs, and is very smooth.
The price is about $55.00.

If you're interested you can e-mail me at ravens_pen09@yahoo.com and I'll send you the link.

Again, thanks for the wonderful video and photos .

Raven
