Love the side note about "being too bright to go any slower". Being so new to photography and not applying any thought process of my own, I copied down one persons technique for getting the so called "angel hair" effect. I hiked up to some falls and filled my cards having used only the one setting I wrote down. I got home only to discover the majority of my photos were all long lines of white blur. The thing is, it did not seem bright to me that day as it was raining on and off. The waterfall was much more exposed to the sky than I was though, for I was tucked up in the trees getting muddy and dripped on. The things we do to get the perfect photo. Needless to say I have learned to experiment more with my settings and not follow advise so easily without more logical thinking on my part :)
