Deer Creek

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to share this image of Deer Creek and discuss a little bit about how it was made. Getting a good balance between motion blur and stop action can be a delicate thing at times. I'm a big fan of having the shutter drag as long as I can but sometimes you need to have a balance. In this image, I wanted to show both, motion and stop action. To archive this and still keep a good depth of field I shot it at f/13 and a shutter speed of 1/3 sec. I used a polarizer to help remove the glare from the water and slow the shutter speed by one and a half stops...

Best of Light,

Ed
