Wood, Water, and Time

[Michael13]

Just upstream of the Lower Falls on the Lewis River in Washington, is a logjam with this huge log shoved between rocks. First image is at 1/100 sec. the second at 10 seconds. Hard to believe it stayed solid for the long exposure given how fast the water was moving.

I like the effect of the long exposure with the log anchoring the scene.

 

[JimFox]

Very nice Michael. I like the longer exposure. And yeah, it's amazing there wasn't some little movements in the log with that longer exposure.

 

[Michael13]

Thanks guys! I think I am obsessed with long exposures. Maybe there is a support group.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

I’ll be a contrarian and go for the first image. The second image loses all context of the water.

I also prefer the long exposure. It makes it a nice, minimalist image.
