Seeing those waterfall pics reminds me of something.

What's people's opinions on the best way to do water shots? Personally, I prefer to see a snapshot of action and movement with a fast shutter speed, rather than the more typical "smoothed out" way (as per the shots above). I appreciate that to get a good depth of field for a landscape shot, a longer shutter speed and wider aperture are sometimes needed, and it's all personal preferences. However the "accepted" way to do it seems to always be a long exposure, losing the dramatic "frozen action" shot.

Interested to hear opinions of both methods!
