Help: General Questions When I'm shooting pictures of running water how do I achieve that stretched water drop that is still in the motion of falling? Large appeture or small, fast or slow shutter speed? Also when one refers to a small or large appeture are they refering to the size number or the size of the opening? Do you see what I mean? If someone says shoot at a large appeture they could be talking about a 5.6 because it has a large opening or a 22 which is a large number. Thanks! Julie

With aperture settings, most people consider a "large aperture" as a wide lens opening,...or low f-stop number. And a "small aperture", means a narrow opening, or a high f-stop number. (It would be helpful though, for the individuals giving the advice to clarify exactly what they were referring to.) For your water shots, if you are trying to achieve that flowing, cotton-like texture in moving water, a slow shutter speed is what you want. Try speeds of 1/15 second all the way down to several seconds....(depending on how brightly lit the scene is.)
