50 With A 50 – Week 11

Not sure how many rules of good photography I broke to get this photo. I was walking along Rennies River trying to find something to shoot when I saw the rocks with the river flowing over them. Perfect for a long exposure, except I didn’t have a tripod and it was the middle of the day so it was too bright, I had no filters and even if I did none of the ones I have fit the 50mm lens and it isn’t stabilized so hand holding at lower speeds is not going to work. I ended up using a very high f-stop (f22) and a low ISO, over exposing way too much to get the motion blur in the water and propping the camera up on a bridge railing and shooting between car passing that caused the bridge to vibrate. It actually turned out better than I expected. Or perhaps I should say it turned out not as awful as I expected. #50WithA50
