South Prairie Creek

The colors of fall have just begun to creep into the lush vegetation of the Pacific Northwest.

This is a type of image I really enjoy—an ordinary location that has a special feel to it. This is the same area as was shown in my “Swimmin’ Hole” post a few days ago, but looking from the other direction.

(The first photo was taken from just above the railing seen in the distance at right.)

This was a time exposure—six seconds, which smooths out the little wavelets on the water and gives a more serene view. The late afternoon light gives a slightly yellow tint to the greenery.

Photographed with the Phase One IQ4 digital back, and a Canon TS-E 24mm lens.

Below, a similar viewpoint, but without the time exposure.
