I visited a dam close to my home that has recently started to release water due to the winter snow melt. This dam, built in 1912 on the Boise River, is a rubble-concrete structure with a hydraulic height of 39 feet. It diverts river water into a canal and lateral system that flows throughout the valley. I took this photo from the top of the dam looking down into the falling water. It was fun to experiment with different shutter speeds. I liked the effect that the long exposure had on the water.
I am excited because tomorrow I am attending an all day photography class at a state park with sand dunes. Hopefully, it will be a great day of learning and I will return with some "postable" photos to share here.
As always, thank you all for your comments and support. They are all much appreciated. I wish you all a good weekend!
Brilliant water shot - it's amazing how you've captured the textures in the water flow. Have a great day tomorrow - will look forward to seeing the results. Perhaps you can share some tips?
Bruneau Dunes! I love that place and have camped there several times. Have a great time. Your shutter speed appears to have had different effects on different sections of the moving water. I don't know how this happened, but I sure like it.
This is really fascinating! I like how it is so abstract and yet you know it's water. fav Have an awesome time at the photography class. Looking forward to the pictures!!
Very cool shot - love the movement of the water and the textures/curves. Have fun tomorrow - how exciting - cannot wait to see some shots of the sand dunes! :)
Have a wonderful day - sand dunes to photograph? Sounds great, I envy you.
hope you have a fantastic day today and no doubt you will have some stunning shots for us :-)
i can't wait to hear about your class and to see your dune photos!!
