A few of a stream

What do you think of these? Still learning........just kept trying diffrent settings. Was kind of rushed because I was standing on the side of a busy road.

Slower ss in this one, I think too slow, looks too bright to me.

Both pics shot in S mode with a -1.3 ev

[QuadRacer041]

Here are a few, what I did was just kept slowing the SS down. What one looks best?

[QuadRacer041]

1/20 ss

[QuadRacer041]

1/13 ss

[QuadRacer041]

1/8 ss

[QuadRacer041]

Those were all shot with 0 ev, this one was at -1 ev

Your third post looks best, as it is the best exposed of them all.

Where all of these taken in S mode?

What was your aperture setting in each shot?

Seems like you learned the effects of using a slower shutter speed, you just need to work on the exposure a bit more.

No, they were not all shot in S mode, the pic your refering to was shot in A mode with a f5.6 and a 1/2000 ss. I was trying to get a flowing affect of the water thats why I wanted to use S mode. Being that I was using such a slow ss the aperture setting was very high in most of them. The first too were f36 and the last few were f29. How can I get that flowing affect of the slow ss yet still get the correct exposure. I can tell that the ones with the slow ss are overexposed even with me using the -ev. I think that with the slow ss I maxed out the small aperture(larger f#) right? So again my question is, how do I get that nice flowing affect like in the overexposed pictures without overexposing.

Lou, this scene looks like one where you wont be able to achieve a balance of slow shutter and still retain the exposure, remember what I I have stated about dynamic range and there is only about 7 stops of light that are able to be captured.

When we do a "blur" . we sometimes shoot at daylight or duck and will use filters that cut down the available light so that we can bring the brighter sideof things inline with what we are trying to capture.

Overcast days work well also.


I borrowed an image from a friend of mine who is really starting to excell with waterfalls. Notice its overcast, he has chosen a shooting position that eliminated the brighter sky and has achieved a balanced shot in which the water is blurred. Its taken him about a year of working with other photogs in his area to really stat nailing these shots.....nothing happens overnight! Keep at it!
