Shooting water in all its endless variety is one of the creative pleasures of nature photography. From drops of dew reflecting a crisp autumn morning to the power of\u00a0cascading falls frozen in time, the camera allows many\u00a0unique perspectives\u00a0of our most abundant resource that\u00a0are seldom seen in a passing glance.<\/p>\n

A polarizing filter is a favorite tool for photographing water as it slows exposure and increases contrast, both of which serve to enhance the emotional response to a scene. While some may say this is altering reality, it’s good to remember that art is more about personal expression than documentation.<\/p>\n

“Most creative photographs are departures from reality and it seems to take a higher order of craft to make this departure than to simulate reality.” ~Ansel Adams<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This image of Calf Creek Falls in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument was made on an overcast day with a long\u00a0exposure of 20 seconds. The cloudy sky diffused the harsh mid-day light and saturated the colors of the moss covered rock, while the slow shutter speed\u00a0gave the falls\u00a0a silky look.<\/p>\n
