Fast and slow water

Today, two photos of the "spot the difference" kind.

The first uses a fast shutterspeed, designed to capture movement.



Exposure: 1/400 sec

The second uses a much slower shutterspeed, which turns the fast-moving water into a soft veil of white.



Exposure: 1/10 sec

Of course, you'd need to adjust the iso value and/or the aperture as well to avoid over- or underexposing the rest of your photo. But it's a fun trick to play with, not just for moving water, but other moving objects as well.
