One Mississippi


This sort of shot has been a goal of mine for some time. I have always loved the milkiness of water when a camera's shutter speed is slowed down. The water begins to sheet over rocks like a blanket. This one comes from the Japanese Gardens in Houston. The conditions were right, I had a makeshift tripod (the rails of a wooden bridge) and good light, but not too much. The shutter was open for 1 second on this shot. I hope to take more like it, and maybe for a little longer shutter time and with deep blue water.
