i got a question.... I was trying to take a picture of a waterfall, and I wanted that "cloud" effect to the water, so I wanted to slow down the shutter speed... But then it make the image way to bright..... How do I keep the picture brightness correct but get the effect I am looking for??

You'd want to either lower the ISO setting and/or increase the aperture.
Something else the original post should make note of is the role the aperture plays in the sharpness of the photo. I low aperture will tend to not be that sharp. The sharpest results will come around two stops from the widest (lowest) aperture. Getting up into higher apertures will result in bent light (I can't think of the term for it, and I'm not going to look it up this late).
As I said, the sharpest results will be around 2 f-stops from the lowest aperture. However, most modern cameras allow you to adjust the aperture in 1/3rd increments.
(Don't bother looking for part 3, it's not there yet. Yes, I read all 19 pages.)
