Running water (14)

Hello my friends,
here is my another experiment - the blurred effect of the water. Iīve seen a lot of amazing pictures here on TL with this effect.
I have problem with overexposure always and I donīt know what shutter speed is enough to blured the water.
In this shot is quite good.
But if you check the workshop, there is a problem. The light was so intense and the shutter priority programme didnīt manage it.

Comments and advice are welcome!

Jitka:
I am only doing this since you had asked; and in this one as you can see that with a little of image correction, it is most beautiful capture that you did:)

Hi Jitka:
Here are the steps for image correction here:
ctrl+L [Levels] adjusted the center slide to reduce levels to take away too much of contrast in whites.
ctrl+U [Hue & Saturation] increased saturation by 15% to compensate for the loss of color after adjusting levels.
ctrl+shift+Q [Brightness & contrast] reduced brigthness by 20%
ctrl+M [RGB Curves] first reduced blue a bit and that automatically adds some slight Yellow, and then reduced RGB slightly.
Most of the time any overexposed original image may be corrected similar steps.
There are atleast over 30 more ways to do this too, and may be others will have their own style.
Now for the Camera setting, in this situation that you are faced with too bright of a sun, you may choose this type of capture more toward later part of the day when you wont have such a strong direct sunlight.
In this image you can also try manual settings that will allow you to increase you F stop to the max, like F/22, and that means that you can go to a much slower shuuter speed without having the image over exposed with the lowest possible ISO settings.
A perfect test would be to go to the same spot at the same time of the day, and then use the aperture priority (instead of shutter priority) with a max aperture setting and see the results.
Now please remember that I am NOT the expert, so other perhaps may give you some better pointers.
Regards & happy treckking:)
By the way, you have done very good on your posts here!!!
