I have seen many superb images on this forum showing the "milky water" effect and have made one disastrous attempt to emulate them!!
I understand the theory, but really don't know where to start, practically. I have read the article by Peter Hill who seems to use "trial and error".
I wonder if someone could enlighten me on the starting point of the process for my landscape images.
Should I begin with a meter reading from the camera, then alter the number of stops of exposure depending on the ND filter in use? or is there another way? I note that Peter Hill uses the Big Stopper, but this is out of the price range of a pensioner like me! I intend to try the 10 stop ND filter from SRB, suggested by a number of people on this forum, which is much more affordable for me.
I apologise for asking what, for some, may be a very obvious and basic question, but I have looked at so many posts to try to find some guidance that I am going cross-eyed!
All help and guidance would be very much appreciated.
