Waterfall, Rincón de la Vieja - Copper is found naturally in relatively high levels in the river that leads to La Cangreja waterfall in Rincón de la Vieja National Park and is responsible for the very rich blue color of the water. A sense of flow can be created in photographs of moving water by mounting the camera on a tripod and using a slow shutter speed of a second or more. The water will be blurred because it is moving quickly but static objects such as rocks and trees will be sharp.
