If you don't mind giving out some secrets:
Does this use a neutral density filter, and if so, what sort of range of values do you use?

I've always loved these shots of moving water but never managed it myself.

no secrets :)
no filters used at all, just changed the f number to as high as it would go (f29), camera on tripod, remote release, ended up 1/3 second exposure.

hope that helps you :)

After seeing those, I was saying to Tugs, "I have been drinking single malts for some time, but never thought about their colour before - but now I realise, youve only got to look at the water here, and the colour of Old Pulteney, and it all makes sense!:)

Dont know anything about photography but agree with you there. Looks more like a painting than a photograph.
