CLOUDY ROCKS

Canon EOS REBEL XS, Tamron 28-80 lens @ 28mm, ISO 100, f/22, 10 sec.

  I am always fascinated by long shutter speeds and what it does to water in a photo. Back in April, I posted to the blog a shot from River Rd (VIOLENT WATER) where I used a slightly higher ISO of 400 with an f/8 aperture to somewhat freeze the action and capture the "rage" of the Tellico River with a 0.3 second shutter speed.
  A few minutes before that shot, with my ND3 neutral density filter on the lens, setting the ISO at 100, and a much smaller aperture of f/22 the exposure was pushed to 10 seconds calming the rage by smoothing over the water to look like clouds.
  The original shot had a blueish tint to it so I converted it to black and white. This accented the texture of the water as well as the detail in the rocks.  I really liked the way the small rocks on the upper left stand out with the cloudy water pouring over them.
