I went to work this afternoon at the Hillside group home and two of the guys decided they wanted to go out picture-taking. We headed down to Channing Philbrick Park since it was close, and especially because it was down out of the wind, which was getting a decidedly nasty edge.

Life could be a lot worse.

Wait. That's water? There's no way! It's so... perfect! What did you do to get this photograph? :]

Jilian,
Sure enough is. :)
I cranked the aperture down to F/29 which meant the shutter stayed open for a full second. So what you are seeing is a full second's worth of very fast moving water. I did similarly on [link] and [link] and [link]
[link] was taken at the same time as this one but at 1/50th of a second.
Tripods are mandatory for shots like this.

That is so extremely cool. So what I'm seeing is constant movement then. I understand the use of a tripod then, so the rest of the picture remains still while the water itself continues to move?

Yes, you are seeing a full second's worth of movement.
Unless I'm just fooling around or taking candids, I use the tripod for almost everything. You can get yourself a lightweight one for not much more then $20 that would work fine with the PowerShot.

Actually, I think my sister has one that I could borrow. She did photography as well, but hers is much better :] I'm trying to convince her to get a deviantart, but she's unconvinceable.

You can borrow my grappling hook to pull her on board. :D

I'm a sucker for those long-expsure water in motion photographies. I recently took like 30 of them, and they looked fine on the camera, but the water was overexposed on every single one of them. I was well gutted.

Great work on this one!

Thank. I tend to shoot with automatic exposure bracketing to avoid that.

My Nikon D40x doesn't have that. It annoys me. :(
