So I just went hiking today and I wanted to try to capture the motion of a river. I have never really tried this properly so I thought I would give it a honest go this time. It was a semi-cloudy day so I thought that this type of photo would be a good one to go after since there was not a lot of light.
My dad and myself went off to try to find a certain area of the Bruce Trail. So off we went. We found the river and then decided to hike along the bank to get to the small rapids that were further upstream. This got a little risky from the mud and such but after a couple of minutes of trudging through mud I found a good spot.
So after a small amount of trial and error I got some decent photos. The sun did come out more and more as the afternoon passed so I couldn't have the shutter speed I wanted. As I wrote in my take on the exposure triangle, I just fiddled with the settings on manual to get the right shutter speed to catch the motion but the right aperture and ISO so that it wasn't one big blown out photo.
I am happy with my shots I got but I know I can do better. I just need to find a better river and a cloudier day. Maybe wait till fall since I will have a little more colour in the photos. However one of my photos I did toss in black and white since it had some cool tones going on.
So here are my two photos I liked the most from the trek:
