Whitewater

On Saturday morning, I decided to use my long lens for a second round of whitewater photos. One advantage was that I actually needed some light, so I didn't have to get out early at the darkly crack of dawn. I won't go on about the equipment difficulties that I was experiencing, but I managed to get some photos regardless.

My first stop was back at the little bridge to once again capture how the water was swirling around the little trees. I took a number of shots as the water interacted with the tree differently second by second. I chose this one with an exposure time of 0.4 seconds.

As you can see, I decided to stick with colour this time. No, the light was not really that  blue (above), but that's how it came out of the camera, and I like it. Other than displaying it in colour it is similar to the previous version, but I used a longer lens so I didn’t have to crop as extensively,

My only other stop was just behind town hall to capture the little waterfall by the dam. These two photos were both 0.5 seconds. I also shot both longer and shorter exposures, but I preferred these versions.

Maybe I will shoot from the other side of the river sometime soon . . . but only after I tighten the wobbly tripod that was giving me fits on this morning.
