Cool... in that case It's here. It's a long thread, but a really great method when you figure it out. Chris Tarantino is the main guy who knows his stuff, so pay particular attention to his advice on Calculations. Thanks Doug

Little Help Please? Water Crown
I read the same page just before I posted to check if you were right. I have to admit I too struggled with the concept of slower-than-framerate shutter speeds, but I read up quite a bit before posting. There is other stuff on the web which confirms it. :)

Splash removal from lenses and filters
Thanks guys. Pretty much what I've been using already. I've also had a bit of success with masked levels or curves layers. Generally, the droplets I've, so far, encountered tend to reduce the local brightness/contrast in the area of the splash. It's all been trial and error so far. Seems like "horses for courses." It's not always easy to keep dry standing beside a waterfall, though! Bill

Water Damage
Don't give up on it, place it in the airing cupboard for a few days (with the body open, i.e. no body cap). I had a film compact which was soaked while lightweight camping during a very heavy thunderstorm. I was on tour (cycling) and four days later it started working again. It still works after several years. Edit: Sorry Chris, only just noticed your post. That makes two of us with the same...
