First off, thank you in advance those who lend their opinions, advice and guidance. To those who critisize and complain, thank you for reading my post. OK, here it is. I want to know how to make water look interesting. Moving water that is. How do I get it all soft looking. Like this http://photo111.home.att.net/images/images/stream.jpg or this http://water.usgs.gov/pubs/FS/fs-027...-01/stream.jpg or http://www.radekaphotography.com/images/Stream.jpg I have experimented, but the results are awful. What kind of film do you think I should use. Most of the areas or places I will be would be forest areas, or low light areas. I use both black and white and colour. I do use a tripod, not there is no need to remind me of that little tidbit. Any and all help is totally appreciated. Thanks again in advance. -- T C Bulmer http://members.shaw.ca/tcbulmer/index.html Kick you out to reply |

Those photos look like they've been taken with extremely long exposure
times... pick a windstill day (so the trees etc don't move), use some low-speed film and just crank up the exposure time and the droplets of water will blur into that nice white foam effect.

Michael, Even if the particular running water that she is interested in shooting has been shot before at the exact time of day on the exact day of the previous year under exactly the same weather conditions from exactly the same location using exactly the same camera and film, why should she not try her hand at it.

"That photo is a disease!"
To who? You? And for that reason I should not try to capture this subject on film? Seems to me that the whole reason I take photographs is for MY pleasure not yours. Thanks anyhow, I appreciate you have an opinion on the matter but that is NOT what I asked for. I asked for help and suggestions on achieving the desired look. Why I want to is MY business not yours. -- T C Bulmer http://members.shaw.ca/tcbulmer/index.html Kick you out to reply "Michael Scarpitti" wrote in message om... "Francis A.

I do use a tripod, not there is no need to remind me of that little tidbit. Any and all help is totally appreciated. Thanks again in advance. To solve the problem is not that great set the camera up on the tripod and adjust the exposure time to somewhere between 1/4 sec. to 8 secs. depending on the lighting conditions. Experience has show that these exposure times don't sem to make a lot of difference to the amount of blurr seen in the final image. The low level of lighting under the trees in the forrest (bright overcast day preferred) allows the use of 100 ISO film with exposures of up to 1 second at f22/32. If this fails use a pola filter to increase the exposure time. Not using the filter for its pola effect but as a ND filter.(2 stops). Note: I've never found a lot of use for a ND filter but have a pola in the camera bag and use this for its ND effect. It a fun way of making photographs and the results often surprise with the neat effects the water creates. -- Richard Poole photographer view the publication 'The Lighting Workshop' at; http://www.lmphotonics.com/photoretreat/ |
