I really like how you were able to capture the motion of the water. I still havn't been able to do that lol

Thank you. Yeah, this was my first time 'cause I thought I needed a camera with the abilitiy to choose shutter speeds and such. Although I think now it would be possible to get some motion water shots by shooting on an overcast day with a tripod and a basic point and shoot camera. So you should try it sometime.

maybe I will. I've tried water shots before, but to me I don't get the movement. any hints?

Hmm... well a tripod and overcast day are vital. On a sunny day the water will have overexposed spots and it will be hard to get it to blur if your camera only has auto modes because the more light there is the faster the shutter speed will be on the water. You need a real slow one to get the water looking like it is in this photo. What type of camera and settings do you have?

Depends on who's with me, or who's camera I have. My own is a little point and click film (which I rarely use) My dad's is a Cannon 10D, and the friend's I use most is Kodak easyshare CX7220 zoom. I usually alternate between those two.

Well I don't own an SLR, but I have a fair knowledge of them and I basically have no experience with film. lol. So Kodak easyshare CX7220 zoom has 2X, 2MP? That's what I read. I'd really stick to the 10D for a water shot like this. That's a much better camera than even what I used to make this shot.

LoL not much really, well, I understand but not how on the camera... Still experimenting and learning what all the buttons and doohickys do lol. My dad would teach me if he had time, but it's basicly all up to me.

I'd really suggest reading some books from your local library. I have read probably well over 30 by now and that's how I learned to use shutter speeds and aperture choices.

Beautiful photo, lovely composure.... the focus area is nice and wide for what the shot is of.

use a two second delay before the capture. That is if you are using a 1-15-30sec exposure. That way there is no vibration of your hand leaving the camera... it helps some.

Yeah, guess I could have done that. Thanks for the tip.

Beautiful Shot, truly amazing, just a small word of advice. STOP REMINDING US ABOUT WINTER

Thank you. Haha, ever since I got into photography I love fall and winter. I am so sick of green summer trees you wouldn't believe it.

very nicely captured!!! LOVE the leaves and the water looks great as well. But did you try for longer exposures? Like 1 sec - 5 secs?
BEAUTIFUL shot! The composition is just awesome.
Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much. I did try some longer exposures, I don't remember if I did for this one... I don't think so though. It was really windy and my tripod isn't exactly the greatest thing. Camera doesn't screw on so great to it.... like I have to hold the camera sturdy on the tripod while pushing the shutter because it moves. So yeah, when I was looking at some of my even longer exposures, many were blurry.
