Run-off

Yesterday afternoon R and I went up to my favorite right-off-the-side-of-the-road waterfalls (just when there's been lots of rain or melt-off). The sun was playing peek-a-boo, which was fine with me, because I have trouble getting slower water when there's lots of light...too much gets blown out. Give me a good cloudy overcast day anytime. (spoken like a true Northwesterner)


I really like the painterly feel to this one. It reminds me of something Kaz would do. Very impressionistic.

    Nice job on these! I also read the Home Depot post - and I love the tiny little sunflare you caught on your waterdrop!

    Oh, how beautiful! Such silky captures! I bet this is a particularly beautiful time of the year for the falls. You asked about my ISO. . . I used my 50 1.4 lens at f/1.4 and ISO 800. The fact that there were so many neon lights really helped to illuminate the shot, although it was still a little tricky not getting the light blown out, and losing all the detail in the shadows. A little tweaking in Camera Raw really helped!
