Fluffy water shots.

You really need a tripod and a remote shutter release (wired or wireless) unless your camera has a selftimer , then use that.

Plonk camera on tripod and frame your shot. What makes the water milky is the slow shutter speed you need. On a DSLR, that can be achieved by setting the iso to the lowest you can and setting the aperture to F8 or F11. In bright sunlight you may well need ND filters as well. That is it simply, can go into more detail if you want?

I shoot 99% of my stuff in aperture priority, so the advice above is relating to that.

Crap shot, but all I have to hand.

Hi fella,it is beer time over here, so i`ll be quick.

The two pics I looked at had shutter speed over 1/100 of a second. That is too fast for the milky water effect.You also had the lens at F5.6. Now if you had chosen F8 or F11, your shutter speed would have beena lot slower,like 1/20 of a sec, the water would have blurred into the milky effect.

BUT, at those kind of speed,holding the camera by hand ,all the foliage and stuff would be blurred as well due to camera shake caused by us humans being shaky things, hence why a tripod is necessary.

Can do a full post about it tomorrow,if you want, when my hangover goes..........:-)


Edit...last one is pretty good, just a little bit bright and you shutter speed is down at 1/30th on that one.
