Moving water is a very difficult thing to photograph in a way that
captures reality. That is because a photograph can never recreate the
way that water looks when it is moving. However, one method that
people have long used is to leave the shutter open for a long time and
let the water become all blurry and smooth. No, it doesn't look at all
how moving water actually looks. But what it does do is evoke the
feeling of moving water for many people.
So get out there to your local stream, river, canal, ocean, or
gutter downspout. Bolt your camera to a tripod and experiment with
different shutter speeds. Depending on the speed of the water, a good
starting point might be anything from 1/15 to 10 seconds.
