Moving water with camera tv setting

To make water appear frozen or as droplets you can use the tv setting on your camera.  With tv mode you can control the shutter speed. I use a tripod and a remote so you don't get camera shake with longer exposures.

f/40, 1 second exposure (ISO 100) makes the water look more like steam in this shot.


f/11, 1/15 second exposure, ISO 100

f/2.8, 1/400 second, ISO 500

f/11, 1/1600 second, ISO 800 

You can see from the above settings, as the shutter speed gets faster the ISO increases which may increase noise in the image.  The best way to learn is to experiment with the tv mode, so go out and have fun.
