Nature In Motion #2

Nature In Motion #1

A brief stop along a northern Minnesota highway to observe nature in motion.

Concepts

It was one of those mornings, staring at the surroundings, visualizing possibilities…

Test Shot

Awhile back I invested in ND filters with the intention that I would begin to learn to use them properly.  I’ve read, watched videos and studied other photographer’s work in preparation.  I also added an app to my phone to help me determine the correct timing based on camera settings.  After a couple of failed test shots, I managed to get one that gives me hope that with a bit more practice, I will be able to capture more shots using the filters.

Canon 5D S, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, 10 stop ND filter, ISO 50, 28mm, f/11, 91 sec.  twiddled with in Lightroom, Silver Efex Pro 2 and Photoshop.

Liquidity #1

Spring…water is in motion, moving to merge with the greater body and on to the sea.
