This week in SSC: Water - (long exposure optional)

I was looking forward to getting some long exposure shots this week so I headed off to the Cushman Dam No. 2 along the Hood Canal here in Washington state. I was hoping to see lots of water but it is summer so the water was pretty low. I tried out my ND filter for the first time and had fun getting some motion blur on the water. I took my tripod but wound up bracing my camera on a ledge instead. Next time I will use my tripod for such long exposures. (More pics ​in PiPs.)

Hats off to you for using ND filters and long exposure! The second PiP is my absolute favourite, the water is just smooth enough without losing all the details.
I have some ND filters lying around but have never used them so far:-(

Danke sehr, Gudrun. I forgot I even had an ND filter and almost bought another one. :)) It works well and really makes a difference. I bet you'll love it once you try it. I want to do more now! :)

Excellent series of photos, Karen. Looking forward to seeing more long exposure shots. Fascinating information too. I especially like the first PiP shot. For me this one creates a superb atmosphere. Love the way the light catches the moving water.

Now when we have in Europe this high temps (around 97°F!), such pictures are very refreshing! :-)
I see it's close to the east side of the Olympic N.P. I had been there in the early 2000's but rather at the west side, Quinault Lake and Rain Forest. I really like it and had a great time!

Oh, that's such a pretty area. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love the rain forest and haven't been in a long time. What a great place to take some photos!
