Long Exposer and Water

By Brad Sigety

Whenever I’m out taking photos one of the things I’m always looking for is water. Water is one of the coolest things to photograph, its movements are interesting and unique. So today I'm going to show you a strategy for taking long exposures of water.

Step 1.)  Wait for a cloud day or one that isn’t bright

STep 2.)  find a tripod to keep help keep the camera still

Step 3.)  Put your camera on manual and lower your IOS and aperture to as low as they will go

Step 4.)  raise shutter speed to as low as you can get (about 10 to 20 seconds)

Step 5.)  Place the camera by whatever water source you are using

Step 6.)  try taking with multiple shutter speeds to see how they compare and which you like
