Just to help you see what slow shutter speeds can do with your moving water - I have attached a photo which shows reasonably the same image area but taken with different slow shutter speeds. I took this hand held with my Canon RP, battery pack, RF-EF adapter and my Sigma 50-500 lens (reasonably heavy) and no filters. It wasn't easy to get the 1/2 sec photo and I think I took about 50 just so I was sure I get 1 at least that was reasonably sharp. I also have included iPhone long exposure just so you can see an even longer (which I wasn't going to try with my canon without a tripod) period. You can see what you might want to try the next time you want a Waterfall photo. I always tell people to take different shutter speeds just so they can get different effects in the images.
