Photography

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

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.

A circular polarizing filter, shutter release, and tripod. If you plan to photograph with the tripod in water or wind at a beach under a pier a heavier tripod is helpful. However, if you plan on hiking to a waterfall you may want something lighter.

Focus the camera on a solid object, not the water. And the shutter speed depends on the flow of the waterfall. If the shutter is too slow it will be overexposed and blow out the detail of the water.

Even with the filters I prefer to shoot water when it's overcast without harsh sunlight.
