Guess I prefer flowing water shot at a "medium" shutter speed. :-)

I also used to dislike the long-shutter speed water look but I've come to believe that it yields a picture that actually represents *more* accurately our memory of the original scene. When you recall a waterfall you can never place each individual droplet or rivulet of water. Of course, I also still enjoy fast shutter speed shots - i just appreciate them now as being *less* like "reality" rather than more. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
