Unfortunately the best light for shooting falls is usually subdued, otherwise they are often prone to hot spots and deep shadow. Couple this with slow film, the need for reasonable DOF and maybe correction filters and even using ISO400 equates to relatively show shutter speeds. I tend to make my fast waterfall exposures when the sun shines bright, but they are usually only small areas of focus since it's near impossible to make a decent exposure of the whole scene. Digital combining of multiple exposures at different exposure values is opening up more possibilities but is still often pretty difficult to get a good result in direct sunlight.
