Photographing WaterWhen photographing water, there are many different variables you can adjust to achieve the feel you're seeking.
Slow shutter speeds are popular among photographers seeking to give that silky look to a waterfall or swirling eddy. A fast shutter will capture drops in the air, and convey the kinetic energy of the splashing water. A polarizing filter can be turned to cut through surface glare, showing the rocks and other sub-surface features. Or you can turn it to reflect the sky or background. When lowering your iso and stopping down your aperture isn't enough to permit a long shutter speed, it's time to add a neutral density filter. ND filters cut down the light entering the lens, and result in slower shutter speeds.
