1. Beautiful, especially those mission photographs.

The San Francisco de Asis (Ranchos de Taos) mission photograph has a Salvador Dali quality. I love your description of your early traveling on your "about" page. The text could use more contrast. It was hard to read on a day when a lot of light was coming in.

2. Oh, no! A professional!

Now the competition's really gonna heat up!

I'm just kidding, Quixote! We're delighted to have you. Your photography is stunning. I like the "flowering" mission pictures best. A nice blending of nature and architecture. It'll be nice t see what you'll contribute to this group.

Welcome! :hi:

4. That is extremely easy to do

You use a tripod, set your camera on Aperture Priority, set your aperture at a large f-stop such as f-22 or bigger then let the camera set the shutter speed. A slow shutter speed is the key to getting the water to look milky and smooth. It's best to do photos on a dark cloudy day as the darkness allows for long shutter speeds. Also, to get a good shot of a forest scene the defused light on a cloudy day works best.

If you don't have aperture priority then use a tripod, set your aperture at f-22 or larger. This should get you a long enough shutter speed to blur out the water. A shutter speed of 1/2 second or greater is best for making water look really wonderful.
