Water Play

Slow Shutter Speed

The past few days have shown great progress in the approaching Spring. Hopefully the color will start to grow as the warmer days coax it out of the ground. As much as I dreaded winter as it dragged on, the white was preferable to all this lifeless brown. On Sunday I ventured into the creek behind the house and then Monday evening I walked the trail behind the shopping plaza in Rome that follows the Mohawk River. Since the beginning of my photography journey I have been fascinated with the look of moving water as I slow down my shutter speed. Here are a couple different interpretations…

The Chute

Backyard Creek

Having to go to work does have a dampening affect on my photography time. Luckily I managed to grab a few images yesterday as I played in the creek behind the house. For now you may have to suffer through a few more slow water, long exposure, snow on the rocks images until I can get back out when there is light.

Backyard Creek

I guess not every morning can have a beautiful sunrise. I was hoping though… I settled for playing in the creek after grocery shopping. You can never take the kid out of the creek, or is it the creek out of the kid, or am I suppose to grow up? I forget what it is suppose to be. I just have fun exploring that creek behind the house. 😉
