Description
A beautiful image of some water running between some large rocks in a creek. I love the more up close photos of creeks and rocks. It gives us an abstract take on nature. I captured this one with a long exposure on an over cast day. This would be a great image to have in your home, an office or even a waiting room.
Blurring, at its heart, is caused by using a shutter speed that isn�t fast enough to freeze motion. When the camera�s shutter is open longer, it takes in light from objects moving across its path. As they move, they reflect more light onto the sensor, much like a paintbrush applies paint to a canvas.
If you were to allow a painter to paint a line across a canvas for 1/500 of a second, you wouldn�t see a line at all. You�d probably see a dot (assuming his hand could get to the canvas in the first place). However, if you were to give that same painter as little as 3 seconds to paint, you would most certainly see a line. That�s what it�s like for a camera. The line is a single direction motion blur.
To create a motion blur and get blurred waterfalls, we need to use a slower shutter speed. We need to allow the waterfall to paint it onto the sensor. Something in the range of 1 to 5 seconds should work. In some cases, you might need to use a shutter speed a little bit above or below that.
