This is another example of a different way to get the feeling of water movement in the day , This shot was taken at 9.34 am Canon 30D with the kit 18-55 lens @31mm, ISO 100, F22,for 1 sec , I used a CPL and ND Grad filters , One reversed , Any questions , Just ask - Bill This is the poor mans way if you dont have a ND400
i know the difference in look and its quiet clear with your 2 pics (which are beautiful) but i cant seem to work out exactly what will give me the effect im looking for i can be a little bit shaky at times also and that doesnt help much i mean i have a tripod but it doesnt seem to be sturdy enough so even when i do figure out the settings im after its not as clear as it could be ....and the slower the shutter speed the blurier the pic do you have any suggestions

Get a sturdier tripod and a remote shutter release. You need to make sure your camera doesn't move at all during the exposure. Any movement, no matter how slight will affect the result and the only real method of ensuring there is no movement is a good quality tripod, on a stable surface (sand etc can move under a tripod), and a remote shutter release to stop movement when you press the shutter.

Also try using mirror lockup so you don't get mirror slap.
Thanks for that. I'll put it to practice soon!
Thanks, I'll be trying this out.

Very useful I love the movement in the shot.

Will it matter if my camera is a beginner's SLR? I don't have the 5dmkII, I only have the 1000D. =(
Won't matter at all , You'll get the same effect with your 1000D , I only use an old 30D 8.2mp , Maybe use the TV , Shutter speed mode , Or Manual , But it will work , No worries - Bill
I liked your inclusion of the exposure triangle, very instructive for new photographers!

I have just joined this site and this is my first look at a thread. I love that dtoh has posted both pictures for comparison, thank you. If this is the sort of member interactions and sharing tips that this site is all about I'm going to love it here.
thanks Shazz -hope you find alot more useful stuff lying around !
Thank you for the posting. I knew that my camera could do this but now I can go through steps to make it do this.
Dylan,great stuff vary instructive, thanks
Thanks for sharing this and great examples as well. (l just noticed this thread now, so excuse the belated response haha
l actually like both original images, but love the first one for the empathising the Power and Strength of the River system.
Great examples of how shooting the same subject in different shoting sytles can delivery and completely different outcome in the final picture
p.s. like all the other examples as well.
