How to blur water for a creative effect

Look at the two pictures,you can see the picture two is different from the picture one ,and the picture two give us special effect that it's make us feel the water run fast.When you need the moving subject,You may focus on the speed,if the things which move to fast and make you feel still ,it can show the moving subject yes? Waterfalls and rivers are classic examples which can take on a far more dramatic appearance when the water itself is blurred.
below,there is a video about how to make the left photo be moving fast.He has used automatic settings ,and a relatively quick exposure has frozen the water in its tracks- as a result it looks lifeness .

Tips:

First: Switch your camera to Shutter Priority mode by turning the mode dial to 'S' or on Canon models, 'Tv'.
Second:Choose a slower than normal shutter speed to blur the water. 1/30 is a good starting point.
Third:Check your photo. If the water isn't blurred enough, choose a slower shutter speed like 1/15 or 1/8. Note you may need a tripod or an anti-shake system to avoid camera shake – see below.
Four: In shutter priority, your camera will work out the aperture setting for you. If the f-number starts flashing though, it means it can't balance the shot. In this example, the exposure may be too long, so if your sensitivity (ISO) is already at the lowest number, you'll have to choose a slightly quicker shutter speed until the f-number stops flashing. Alternatively wait until it gets darker, or consider using a neutral density filter, see below.
Five:After taking your photo, remember to set the mode dial back to Auto or Program mode.

There are some points you should know

when you reduce the shutter speed,you become more susceptible to camera shake. If you naturally shake , you have better need at least 1/60, but if you're very steady, then you may be ok at 1/15.
So when applying this technique to blur water, make your camera very steady .
