Good pics, Angeles Crest Hiking Trail??

Looks like pretty harsh lighting out there, but the pictures turned out good. I like the
concept/angle behind most of them. Some look overexposed/blown highlights, but it was
probably due to the hard lighting. Try a much slower shutter for the moving water

i need lot more practice to overcome my shaky hands for slower shutter speed shots haha. any tips? i tried holding my breath, leaning against wall, etc.
to be honest, i'm afraid of raising iso.
i know i shouldn't be, but i dont really know how to remove/reduce noise through post processing, and dont want to be disappointed after taking 100+ of noisy shots. haha

Jae, I would rest the camera on a rock and then brace it with your hands when using a slow shutter speed for the water. I'm thinking like 1 second + for water shots to get a lot of flow and make it look kinda soft

Setting the camera down (rock/ground/etc) and using the self timer can work if you don't have a tripod:

With an IS lens you can get some pretty good water blur handheld:

oh duh...haha why didn't i think of that?
i guess i was just too afraid of setting camera down near water/getting my clothes dirty

Pics look pretty good. Some pics, as said before, look over exposed; maybe bring the f stop to 8 and drop the shutter speed. You'll get sharper pics. You should try flash for the pic with the girl/dog..to me, it looks underexposed, but what do I know lol still, nice!
