Beautiful, but as echoed above, not the same without Muir. I'd love to get some information on what I assume is a lengthened exposure to get the movement look of the water. What settings were adjusted to get the look? Was it just an ISO adjustment, or is it a feature of the camera?

The key is to have a relatively long shutter speed. You can see in the technical details that I used a 1-second exposure. I put the camera in TV (shutter priority), specified that I wanted 1-sec, and set the ISO to 100 to reduce noise. The camera decided an f/5.6 aperture was good. I had the camera on a tripod and used a 2-second timer after the shutter button press so I didn't shake the camera.
I also used a circular polarizer filter to cut down on reflections off the rocks and boost the colors (particularly greens).

Wow, sounds like I need to do a little more research into the features of my camera!

Lovely shot, just not as lovely without the beautiful Muir. Is the blur of the water flowing intentional? Does give it a etheral quality.
