In January our club member Sue Shreeves presented a brilliant talk on slow water photography at one of our weekly zoom meetings. This subject is a particular passion of Sue's. She shared with us her top tips for capturing great long exposure images of water with various levels of movement; including tips for equipment, what to look for that will make interesting patterns in the images, and how to make sure you don't get cold and hungry whilst you're waiting for those great shots! Sue has kindly compiled the information she presented for us to share with you in this article. She has also included links to resources that provide additional information on how to capture slow water and other types of long exposure images, and how to choose and use filters.
