You may have seen photographs of waterfalls and running streams and rivers where the water is very ethereal-looking. I think those waterfall shots are sometimes referred to as "bridal veil" falls, since they look like, well, a bride's veil. Anyway, after doing some reading, and some experimenting, adjusting an F-stop here and a shutter speed there, I came away with some decent shots of moving water that I would like to share with you. (I only wish I would have had this knowledge, or this camera for that matter, when we visited Fallingwater several years ago!)
I took the top photo on Sunday (2 days ago), and the bottom photo today after all the rain. Can you tell the difference between the slower, less voluminous water flow of Sunday compared to that from today?
This is another photo from today, pulling back a little so that more of the water's course can be seen.
Here's another comparison between 2 days ago and today...
Both of these photos were taken today, but I took the top one to look more "normal" and the bottom one to look more "ethereal".
To sign off, here are a few more odd-ball shots. First the witch's brew...
And some cool patterns of the sun reflecting through the water onto the rocks when the water was more calm 2 days ago...

Really neat pictures. Looks like you are becoming an expert photog.
