Ghost Rocks

My favorite use of long exposure isn’t waterfalls, but waves on a regular beach. I love what it does for waves washing over rocks or logs, etc. The smokey effect is pretty awesome. The trick is that it makes a huge difference exactly when the shot is taken. It’s probably a good situation to use […]

Dry for Now

I didn’t actually wade out into the water for this shot, though I could have with some boots, it wasn’t too deep. I’ve found that with waterfall shots, my secondary tripod has been invaluable… it holds the camera about 6 inches off the ground and is great when you want a lower perspective. In this […]

Sunset Flight

At first I thought it was dust on the lens, when I got back to edit this. Turns out the bugs are just much more numerous and visible at the right time during the evening.  My lens wasn’t quite big enough to get as close as I would have liked for this shot, but I […]

Another photo that wasn’t overall super impressive for it’s own sake, but I really liked the one bit of ice that looked like a nuclear explosion. 🙂  Shooting ice and sunshine is always fun, but difficult to get right when you don’t pay attention to pesky things like white balance. But it often creates opportunity […]

Wagner Falls Thawing
