Shots from Photo-excursion (3)(Fuji 400 asa colour)

Here's the next installment of photo's from our excursion . . .

They're all taken with my Tamron CF Tele Macro F 3.8 80-210mm (ya this seems to be a core lens for me)

We went to a small town on the Trent Severn Waterway with a "cascade", its called Burleigh Falls - with our snow melt and the water levels it was crazy.

What I love about this shot is the contrast between the massive torrent and the little spill over above it.

4+5 give you an idea of the water height as the small evergreens are on islands and at that time were in 6 inches of water.

After our day trip was over I wanted to use up a couple frames. The target of this one is an anemone - Grecian Windflower


During this trip I wanted to experiment with slow exposures on the torrents of water Seems I didn't know ND filters are good for this and they came out way too grainy with dark background- in other words just photographic crap

We live and learn.

I like #2 - for the exact reason you pointed out. The first thing I noticed was the 'trickle' above the rest of the raging river.

Shame the slow exposures didn't come out, I would have liked to see them.

Wow! Have almost an identical river over here just ROARING from snow melt! We've had record highs here...up to 92 degrees on the coast...of WASHINGTON, no less! Pretty much unheard of around here this early.

I too, really like the contrast between the big flow and the trickle flow! VERY good!

Agree with Mike about #2, and #3 would have been an excellent comp
if you could have included more of the water on the right. Nice job, Jim!

Great series Jim - looks like an interesting spot. As Laurence points out the PNW has just had three days of 90+ weather and all the mountain fed streams are torrents, especially with the large snowfalls we had here until recently.
