I'm learning that it's easy to get the wispy, flowing water shots using a tripod and longer shutter speeds - the real trick seems to be getting the rest of the image to look good. I'm experimenting with lighting (time of day), shadows (camera placement), and some adjustment in Photoshop. I've attached a couple of samples from a trip to the Ozarks last week. Nice to have a water option other than the Platte....
The first image is great. You submitted one at the club that had the blurred water effect.
Could you tell us, in that first image, what the combination of shutter speed, aperture and so on makes that work?
Here's another version from Montana. The snowmelt has all the streams at very high levels and running quick - lots of whitewater.
Shot this with my Canon point-and-shoot while exploring the mountains around Missoula. Just the scenery I'm looking for to learn more.
