Hi! I’m relatively new to photography and don’t have all the tips and tricks down yet. Any advice on how to get sweet blurry water shots? I’ve got a Canon R10 with an 18-150mm kit lens which is actually decent glass. The photos never turn out quite right- usually out of focus or too under/overexposed. I do use a tripod.

    tripod or find something secure to rest your camera on. if u don’t have a tripod and u are out in nature, u take something soft like a towel or jacket…crunch it up on a rock and place camera on it.

    use the 2 second delay feature (in the Q menu under drive mode). if u use the shutter button without this and press it the vibration will ruin your photo

    close aperture to f/8 or f/11 or maybe a little more. iso 100

    then experiment with different shutter speeds depending on lighting. if its early am or pm or u are in shade its easier to get a long exposure. otherwise u need an ND filter

    this is an 8 second exposure shot in very overcast conditions

      Ohh! That’s where the delay feature is! I’ve been searching all over for that. Thank you. I do have a nice tripod, but I need a good ND filter.
