A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Water photography (alien.top)

Hi! I'm relatively new to photography and don't have all the tips and tricks down yet. Any advice on how to get sweet blurry water shots? I've got a Canon R10 with an 18-150mm kit lens which is actually decent glass. The photos never turn out quite right- usually out of focus or too under/overexposed. I do use a tripod.

tripod or find something secure to rest your camera on. if u don't have a tripod and u are out in nature, u take something soft like a towel or jacket...crunch it up on a rock and place camera on it.

use the 2 second delay feature (in the Q menu under drive mode). if u use the shutter button without this and press it the vibration will ruin your photo

close aperture to f/8 or f/11 or maybe a little more. iso 100

then experiment with different shutter speeds depending on lighting. if its early am or pm or u are in shade its easier to get a long exposure. otherwise u need an ND filter

this is an 8 second exposure shot in very overcast conditions

Ohh! That's where the delay feature is! I've been searching all over for that. Thank you. I do have a nice tripod, but I need a good ND filter.
