Leaking Dam..

Took this just after getting interested in HDR a few months ago. No vote expected as not very good but am looking for help from the old hands which is most of you here. Is there a way to "tame" raging water forced out of cracks like this when bracket shooting exposures. Photoshop.. long exposure under low light which I can't do with P&S..?? I need help as I don't know the capability of my newly acquired PSE 10 as I haven't learned layers yet. Is layers my answer..?? Thanks in advance for assistance.

Very good process with natural colors. Nice how the water comes through this little holes in the wall.

First of all I don't think you give your self enough credit. Second, there are 2 schools of thought. One is to use a fast shutter speed to freeze the water in place. The other is to use a much slower shutter speed to capture the flow of the waters. It'

It really depends on what look you are going for. One tip is to use as low of an ISO as you possibly can like 100. Choose an F stop around 22 or higher That will allow for longer shutter speeds.

great shot!

I think you have done an excellent job....as for advice for Daze420 is very good with this, he helps me out a lot on our "photo day's out"

I agree with flipd

Thanks everyone.. @Flip and Mau67.. It's a point and shoot bridge with a few capabilities but far short of the entire menu. I attempt to squeeze the last drop from it so info like this is helpful especially if I upgrade to a big boy camera latter.

@Mitch.. appreciate the steer to Daze. I noticed he does some excellent work so I may message him latter if he doesn't see this today.. Ya'll (south U.S. for you all:) have a great day. Good shots all week by ya'll has been the trend.

I think this is a great shot

nice. the best results even using "ND filters" that reduce the light. mounted in front of the lens

I like it. ND filter would improve it, but you're nearly there!

mi piace tantissimo!

Great shot, using more than one image though it is impossible to avoid the flowing effect, personally I like the way water looks when shot like this.

Phil is quite correct though if you only use one image, fast shutter equals froze motion.

Very good shot! I like the effect of water...well done!

@ Leonardo and Karl.. just googled the ND filters. Very interesting even though my P&S has no screw on recepticle for a filter of any sort. I might try taping a friends filter over my lens just to see what happens.

@rrr.. thanks for that input on blending exposures there is no cure all. That is what I expected but don't have enough knowledge on the subject to be sure. I am beginning to conclude there are no cut and dry do's and don't in HDR and more a matter of tast

I could be wrong:)

Well done !

Jonht, lashed out against the wall with the M16A1 assault rifle, I think I use lots of powder, you will burn a little water. Anyway, nice scenery.

Like it.

I can not give much advice to the theme of water, here is undulating orography and almost no waterfalls. For silk effect using low speed but without filter is burned, this is what I read on the Internet.

Thanks again everyone for all the help. @Ricardo.. I did consider using a .50 calibre Browning machine gun and blasting some more holes in the wall to even the water flow.. Deperate can lead to some heavy duty improvision. haha

Nice.

Agree with Ron.

Refreshing water on a hot day!
