This weeks tip was sent in by Venu Gooty:

Taking waterfall snaps with tripod can give some amazing pictures. But if you don't have a tripod, don't stop shooting! Lean against a wall or a tree and take the snap of water with a steady hand. Although there would be some amount of vibration, they can produce interesting criss-cross patterns in water (if shutter speed < 1sec) or get completely smoothened image (if shutter speed > 1sec). Avoid or crop trees/land in your shot. Take multiple shots and select the best ones. This won't be your best snap ever, but at least you wont miss out capturing the beauty.

The picture above was taken with 1sec shutter speed while leaning against a wall.
