Trip to a creek

Working on getting the silky water look. Little too much light for long enough exposure and water was slower than anticipated but you learn by doing

I hope someone here will chime in with good advice on how to obtain that 'look'!

Love the mushroom!

And they're all beautiful in their own way.

Putting a moderate ND filter will get you the "cotton candy" effect with water.

If I don't have a ND filter with me I lower the ISO as far as possible and set my f/stop to the smallest possible apeture, usually f/16 or F/22. That usually slows the shutter down considerably
