falling water by quietpurplehaze

falling water

This tributary of the River Test is in the grounds of Mottisfont Abbey. The flimsy willow ''fence' in the foreground is surely just a marker, certainly would not stop you falling in. But the water is not deep, just freezing cold! (I think perhaps my settings were not quite right to 'freeze' the water - constructive criticism welcomed.)

How like buses are PP shots: you wait ages for one and then....... in a few days my sunset has joined the daffodil on PP - always a little boost, so thank you all!
Hmm, I have spent many a happy hour walking along there with a very old friend.

A nice curve in the water hazel.
You need faster shutter speeds to freeze the water (you are on 1/30 th here) and slower ones to get the milky effect (tripod and ND filter essential). I don't have any ND filters so never attemp milky waters, but i do think milky is a bit cliché, old hat now

Love the speed of the water.

A very unusual angle how the water comes in to join the other ......a small waterfall makes lovely wilder water.

@phil_howcroft

Phil, thank you - very helpful. I'd understood fast/slow SS but think I'd got confused as to which gave which effect! I'm not keen on milky water either and I don't have or want a tripod or ND filter so I think I'll leave my water in peace - thanks again!
