Spring Reflections

 
Spring reflections. This was shot with a neutral density filter to allow me to use the bright but warm light of late afternoon to gather all the reflections in this stream. With a 13 second exposure at f/20 I maximized depth of field to create a symmetry of green mossy boulders in the foreground and background. In between the stream is slowed to a placid pool and the long exposure made the bright and varied greens of leaves and moss seep into the water. The boulders in the middle appear almost to float on the surface. ‪#‎mountains‬‪#‎moss‬ ‪#‎tree‬ ‪#‎trees‬ ‪#‎spring‬ ‪#‎beautiful‬ ‪#‎stream‬ ‪#‎smokymountains‬‪#‎nothingisordinary‬ ‪#‎longexposure‬ ‪#‎longexposureoftheday ‬‪#‎greatsmokymountains‬ ‪#‎nationalpark‬ ‪#‎woods‬ ‪#‎naturephotography‬‪#‎naturelovers‬ ‪#‎naturephotographer‬ ‪#‎inthewoods‬ ‪#‎intheforest‬ ‪#‎landscape‬‪#‎landscape_lovers‬ ‪#‎slowshutter‬ #longexposure ‪#‎surreal‬ ‪#‎tennessee ‬‪#‎slowshutterspeed‬ ‪#‎reflection‬ ‪#‎long_exposure‬ ‪#‎longexposhots‬
