One of my favourite occupations is exploring mountain streams. Here on Skye it is possible to follow a river from the sea all the way to its source in just a few hours. This produces literally hundreds of potential photographs. To take full advantage of the opportunities you will need a telephoto lens. I would normally stop down to f22 in order to get a slow shutter speed of around 1/8sec. This of course requires you to carry a tripod. If the light is good, or you have a camera that produces good results at high ISO settings, you can also shoot with a wide aperture in order to freeze the movement of the water. These are the only options I would consider. Intermediate shutter speeds do got give very attractive results. As always composition is very important and the simplest pictures are generally the best.
