Whitewater at Easter

I had some fun for about an hour yesterday afternoon (Easter Sunday) roaming around by the river and taking shots of whitewater. The water is running very high and fast right now, and I wasn't the only one out there with a camera trying to capture the wild river.

I used my neutral density so that I could slow down the shutter speed to try to capture the movement of the water. Most photos were around 1/2 second exposure, which seemed to be enough to capture the movement but still maintain structure in the water.

Moving downstream a little to photograph the same dam

By the old McArthur Mill, which is to be converted into condos

Gillies Bridge from the west side

Also from the west side but a different composition

From the same spot as above but zoomed in

Looking down from the old railway bridge. Gillies bridge would be a little to the left.

I had fun, and I reserve the right to post more at a later time if I feel so moved. 😀
