Hey,

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:

River Wisp - 17-55mm

Flow - Black and White - 105mm Macro VR

I hope you like the photos and thanks again for reading!

Update: Photos:

Hey,

Sorry again, it has been a while since my last post.  I was on a island without any good internet but I did get a good photo from the island.  Last year I was on this island and got a very nice sunset photo but the clouds this year didn't quite behave.  However this photos is warming up on me.

Heaven & Hell - 17-55mm 

Also I got good use of my tripod this trek.  I carried it with me on all my walks across the island.  It got a little heavy at times but that was only when I was running to catch a sunset.  It is very sturdy and has a great weight.  I just thought I would toss in my 10 cents about my tripod here.

Hope you enjoy the photo!
