Another shot from Rock Castle Creek and our delightful visit with Darren. Thanks again for the tips and the hosting Darren. I just liked the way the leaves were resting on the rock with all the water rushing by. Did some minor tweaking to make the details pop a little more.

Beautiful image Marcie, you got the water so soft and smooth, really makes the hardness of that rock stand out.

  LOL we are thinking a lot alike today. My post is something a lot like this. You done an awesome job here Marcie. Great exposure and well composed composition. You do have a great eye for water shots.

  I know . . . just too funny!! Wow you couldn't have paid me a better compliment either. But I must say you need to take some of the credit being the teacher and all. Every time I shoot this little voice, that sounds like you, repeats advice on composition that you gave me some time ago. Glad to see it seems to work!!

  Thanks Bill and Paul for your wonderful comments. How encouraging.

Bill . . . WOW you couldn't have paid me a better compliment. Don't know if you've seen Darren's for today but if not you should check it out and you might get a chuckle. We were on the same wavelength this morning apparently.

What settings did you use?
What tips do you and Darren have for someone who may just be starting out in water!?

Marcie A. Fowler
  Thanks so much Diane. Let's see I think the settings were at f/18 or so and about a 2 second exposure. Used a tripod, which from Darren tells me are the typical settings for a water shot. Use a polarizer and a tripod and practice, practice, practice. Darren can give better instruction I'm sure but that's pretty much it in a nutshell.
