Painting Water with Time's Brush
You may have seen some of my earlier similar photos. They are accomplished by photographing moving water with a telephoto lens at a slow shutter speed (1/20 s) and high f-stop (f/25 here). The slow shutter speed captures the paths of sunlit water droplets, turning them into "squiggles," and of course also blurs the general water movement. The high f-stop provides lots of depth of field even at telephoto focal lengths (equivalent here to 200 mm for a full-frame 35 mm camera). Try it yourself!
