Winter flow
Two weeks ago, it was frigid and there was snow, last week it thawed and the streams swelled with melting snow. I went to my favorite creek for a look. Inspired by another photographer’s images of flowing water, I tried closeups of the churning water. There’s a long exposure that shows the scene and silky water, then closeups of bubbles.
When I pointed my lens in the middle of the flow at a high shutter speed, it captured motion and streaks of bubble detail. Looking straight down into the water next the the flow, I could capture more detail, bubbles breaking, and the changing dark surface of the water. Click a thumbnail to see an image at a larger size:

Beautiful. I’ll be looking for bubbles next time I’m at the falls. Great second look and capture.
Thanks for the kind words – water is protean, there’s so much to discover.
Stunning photos! I especially like the mossy rocks with fast-flowing water. Beautiful. Nice close-ups too. 🙂
Thanks! A spot that looks different every time I return to it.
Breathtaking!! Thank you for sharing
This has been a good year for bubbles, I think. There’s lots of water stirring up the streams now so I think we’ll have a few more opportunities to do this sort of imaging.
I love the way that long exposure creates a misty effect. All photos are beautiful!
gorgeous 🙂
Excellent and nice shot!
Thanks!
