    How do you capture the beauty of water in motion? Professional photographer Erin Manning shows exactly how to take breathtaking photographs of water--whether it's a splashing raindrops or roaring waterfall. She begins by teaching her student about how different shutter speeds can produce radically different effects when photographing water, from frozen in time to utterly ethereal. She then offers pointers on composition, encouraging her student to experiment with various angles and perspectives. Erin also discusses lens filters--what they are and how they help you take better pictures, particularly with respect to water. Finally, in the "digital darkroom," Erin shows how to create added motion-blur using to an existing photograph using photo-editing software.
