F-Stop: f/11
Shutter Speed: 3.0
ISO: 100
I took this picture around 3:30 p.m while it was raining. The small brook I photographed was running a little higher and faster than normal because of the rain so it made for some interesting water effects. Using a 3.0 second shutter speed, I allowed the camera to capture the ghosty effect of the water. While the leaves and rocks are static, the water is moving, so while the shutter is open the waters movement is captured.
Using camera raw I enhanced the dull colors of the leaves and grass and added a more blue tint to the photo; there was a really warm orange light in the picture but it didn't fit the cool running water. The blue tint is visible in the water slightly were the white ghosts have appeared because they look slightly blue.
If I could capture this photo again I would have liked to have had a different section of the river. The water was running completely horizontal to the camera, and I think it would look cool if I had the water running both vertically towards the camera and then diagonally/horizontally off to the side. This would allow for a greater variety of the soft water effect.
