This past Sunday I took a trip into Cameron Falls for an evening shoot.The sky was clear and blue with no cloud cover.The wind was brisk and cool but we have to remember it is still March.The water levels were quite low and there were lots of pools. A trio of Hooded Mergansers flew in to the open water below the falls. It was fun to watch the males chase after one another in there attempts to court the female.

With blue from the sky,copper from the rocks,gold from the evergreens reflecting into the pools and the low light filtering through the trees onto the rocks in the top right hand corner I created this colorful scene.

I set my 28-135 zoom @ 80mm and the shutter speed  at 1 sec,F22.Using the black rocks for fore ground  I set this shot up.

Late Evening Reflections

Water takes on a life of its own when you have the right evening conditions.The sky is clear and the sunlight is   filtering through the trees, illuminating the reddish rocks in this particular photo.The reddish coloration will then turn the water into a reddish hue. The lighting is also very soft. It is almost dark when this occurs so you have to quickly set up your shot or lose it.The photo was captured at 28 mm with settings of 1 sec @ f22.The rocks in the background are also highlighted into a nice warm glow giving the photo added depth. The water goes from a reddish tone in the background to a more copper tone in the foreground.
