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.

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.

There’s hundreds of YouTube videos about this. You understand the exposure triangle? In this case you are looking at slowing the shutter speed without altering the overall exposure. So decrease shutter speed, increase aperture by the same amount of stops. If it’s bright and you can’t get the shutter speed down anymore (ie lowest iso and smallest aperture) then you’ll need a neutral density filter which effectively blocks out the light. You’ll need to manual focus (possibly before attaching the ND filter) and of course a tripod is pretty well essential.
