Waterfall problem

Ok i give up what do i set my K110d Camera to to take one of those pics of a water fall that makes it look like a mystical type of thing and those pics of cars at night with the lights trailing behind i have tryed veriouse things but i must be going wroung some were

tripod?
manual exposure?
manual focus?
slow (100-200) iso?
slow shutter?
raw capture?
nd filter if needed? (some will question this one....but...if you have a brightlight city, and want any detail in the sky...an upside down graduated nd filter will work).
Bracket exposures by using various times in BULB mode?

The essential thing is to use a slow shutter speed, and that means using a tripod to keep the camera steady.

For water shots, you may need to put a neutral density filter on the lens because the slow shutter speed will lead to over-exposure unless it is a very gloomy day.

The great thing about digital is that it costs nothing to experiment, and feedback is instant.

A bit like advice on this forum, really.

PS: So get experimenting!

I concur with George and even on a dull day or very shady you can get over exposure with the water as I did in my shot below. This was taken around 1/2 to 1 sec I think from what I can remember. On a tripod and with a remote shutter release which I also recommend. You can get one off ebay for a round £5.

This was a Jpeg but shoot RAW as the other have said.
