Actually it's Helen, GA but you were close. We were out camping in the NE Georgia mountains. We stay at a nice secluded spot beside a waterfall. Good times.

Bah, that's a creek if it's the pic I'm thinking of. We want WATERFALL pics... :P

How did you get the water to look like that?

That waterfall goes down about 50 feet...but I wasn't about to climb down there without boots or with camera equipment in hand. One slip would be an expensive and painful ride. :P

Pretty easy, put the camera on a tri-pod and shoot with a long exposure. This can be accomplished with thet F-stop set fairly high and ISO low. HTH

^^^I figured it had something to do with Long exposure. I'm going to look up what Fstop means again.

Again, awesome pics!!!

F-stop = aperature right? Or do I keep reading this all wrong?

The f/stop regulates how much light is allowed through the lens by varying the area of the hole the light comes through. For any given film speed and lighting combination there is one correct amount of light to properly expose the film. This amount of light can be achieved with many different combinations of f/stops and shutter speeds.

Aperture is referred to the lens diaphragm opening inside a photographic lens. The size of the diaphragm opening in a camera lens REGULATES amount of light passes through onto the film inside the camera the moment when the shutter curtain in camera opens during an exposure process. The size of an aperture in a lens can either be a fixed or the most popular form in an adjustable type (like an SLR camera). Aperture size is usually calibrated in f-numbers. i.e. those little numbers engraved on the lens barrel like f22 (f/22),16 (f/16), f/11, f/8.0, f/5.6, f/4.0, f/2.8, f/2.0, f/1.8 etc. Each of this value represents one time the amount of light either more or less in quantity. Meaning to say, f/16 will let in 1X the amount of light than a diaphragm opening of f/22 and so forth; while on the other hand, an aperture of f/4.0 will let in 1X lesser than that of f/2.8 etc.

So I was right, F-stop = aperature?

More or less.....yes

Score, now I thought it auto adjusts though.

*ponders how many other settings he hasn't messed with*

In aperture mode you can adjust.

F-Stop is essentially the unit of measurement for apeture. Apeture is important because not only does it control the amount of light the lens allows in and in turn effects exposure times, but also controls the depth of field of a picture.

Low F-Stop=shallow DOF; Subject will be in focus but background will be blurred, this is called Bokeh

High F-Stop=deep DOF; Subject and background will be sharp and in focus
