Yesterday, I took a walk in the woods with camera, tripod and neutral density filter* in hand. My goal was some of the local woodland streams that are at their peak flow this time of year.
Here are the results:
*Warning, photo talk ahead… one uses a neutral density filter to block light, in general, from getting to the lens. This allows one to use a slower shutter speed that would otherwise be possible. The slow shutter speed (between one and three seconds in these photos) gives the silky texture to the flowing water and necessitates using a tripod.
