#26 – Mossy Falls

07.26.2010 – 9:02pm – Watson Falls, Oregon – f/16.0  – 2sec. – 1/400 -0.33 Canon T1i  – Tamron 18-270 lens
Editing:  Camera Raw Clarity and Vibrance

This is the lower part of Watson Falls in Oregon, between Crater Lake and Bandon. This little stream finds its way down through a beautiful forest of ferns and a large tree canopy. With the camera on a tripod, I used Shutter priority mode (TV or S) and set the camera for a two-second exposure to blur the water and give it this smooth effect. I love shooting water, especially in a rainforest setting where everything is green and mossy.
