How to Shoot Fountains Any photo tips for photographing a fountain - slow-moving water with the sun shining through the water on one side? I want to attain an artistic rendition of it and show the water clearly. Thanks.

Shoot at a speed of 1/60 or above and a small aperture. Use flash. You'll have to experiment; it depends on the effect you're trying to get. The flash will show the water and make the foreground stand out from the background. No flash will probably wash out the foreground, because your camera will use the sun as the exposure to use (called backlight). Use your meter to measure the water without the sun in the background, then use that as a manual setting. Set your flash about -1 stop below the aperture you use on your lens.
