Thank you for comment! Dreamy effect U can get by setting camera for longer exposure (shutter speeds like 1/8, 0.5, or 1 second).

Cheers!

They're great Drazen! I really like #2 with the big waterfall effect. I've made a note of your settings too because every time I try and do these, I always screw them up! I always thought you needed a really long exposure time of like 5 seconds plus....guess I need to experiment more

Great photos!! Look like you're making good use of your tripod

The long expose effect you can get with water is beautiful. Keep up the good work.

Hi.
I liked #2 and #3. In my opinion, the exposure in #1 is not long enough. In 1/8 sec the water didn't "move" enough to make a better mist effect.
ChinaMark - you don't always need such a long exposure, depends on the amount of water. If there is a lot of water, long exposure will give you a "white block" and not the mist effect. I really like this kind of effect and also ruined quite a lot of pictures.
Here are 2 of my favorite pictures (hope it will work):
ISO: 100
Exposure: 1.3 sec
Aperture: 16
Zoom: 28mm

ISO: 100
Exposure: 4 sec
Aperture: 22
Zoom: 18mm

Liron.
