There\u2019s something about water. Whether it\u2019s the awesome power it has to shape the Earth, the life-giving properties it possesses, or even its ability to devastate, it creates a certain subconscious excitement that makes you sit up and take notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it\u2019s no wonder that when you add flowing or moving water to a landscape photograph, it has a similar effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating Atmosphere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However you choose to frame moving water, the result offers a unique view that is impossible to experience with the naked eye. This immediately adds interest to your photograph, hooking the viewer in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that said, the way it is illustrated will convey different feelings and atmospheres. So the first thing you need to think about is what you are trying to achieve with your image, as this will affect the camera settings you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell, a fast shutter speed \u2013 such as 1\/2000 sec \u2013 will stop the water in its tracks and present every single drop, splash, and ripple in fine detail, whereas longer shutter speeds of around one or two seconds will reduce these details until the water becomes a smooth blur.<\/p>\n\n\n
