[QUOTE="Slipperman, post: 186433, member: 14707"] why can't i do this? i went out today and took some pics specifically to see if i could achieve the silky water effect on a sprinkler at a local park but it didn't turn out too well. i know you have to use a slower shutter speed in order to capture the movement of the water but i wasn't sure about the aperture. so what i did was set bracketing mode on at 0.7 of a stop, set shooting mode to Manual and the starting shutter speed and aperture to 1/30, f22 respectively. took 3 pics where the bracketing created exposures of 1/30 f22, 1/50 f22 and 1/20 f22. i then increased the aperture to f25 and took 3 more pics at 1/30 f25, 1/50 f25 and 1/20 f25. took 3 more using f29 before changing the shutter speed to 1/25 and repeating the process (using slower and slower shutter speeds). this yielded a total of 45 exposures none of which came out right. maybe it was the way the water was spraying out of the sprinkler that didn't allow much 'mist' but not sure. anyway, here are 2 pics - one from the first set and one from the last..
