Moving Water

How do I take a picture of moving wather to get the "soft" look. I can get the look but too much light comes in with longer exposure.

Neutral Density filters allow longer shutter duration to be used.
Also, dial in as low an ISO as your camera will allow, and shoot at f/22 or smaller.
Your shot is ISO 100, 1/3-sec at f/29, so now you need ND filters to elongate your shutter duration to 1-second or longer.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'll be on ebay toning looking for filters. I've been meaning to pick up a star filter as well. Might as well get both at the same time. Happy Father's day to me LOL!!

To do this with no filters and not have to buy anything.
Set your camera up about an hour before sundown. ( tripod )
set f stop at f/22
every little bit press half way down, and watch the shutter speed
get longer and longer.
I like mine from about 1 second to 3 seconds.
I have taken them at 30 mins.

A polarizer will give you around 2 stops ND also.

Thanks for the tips. I have a small stream down the road I want to photograph. I'll have to stay up late tonight since it gets dark at almost 10:00 Pm these days.LOL

A circular polizer filter will, in most situations, allow you to get milky smooth water. ND's can also be added as needed. To cut glare and refelction and better color, use a CPL.

That's how I do it. In the mountains early to late evening, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/8 to 3 seconds, higher f-stop, works great. manual focus, tripod, cable release, no need for ND filters but nice to have. Have fun. :thumbup: :thumbup:
