Hi Larry, I'll try explain a little 'cos I'm here but perhaps one of the others who takes these will be able to do a better job. The type of shot you are after takes a long shutter speed so the water moves during the time the shutter is open. This is usually achieved by stopping down the aperture to it's smallest setting and using a neutral density filter or maybe a polarising filter to cut down on the amount of light entering the camera. You would need to keep the camera abosolutely still during the exposure so the background is sharp so a tripod will be necessary too. What type of camera do you have? Richard.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
