Long exposures of a waterfall
A cold swim below Cucumber Falls This waterfall is within an easy drive from my house. Flowing water makes for good long exposure photos. As I was framing up this shot and fiddling with my settings the young man you see in the water came scrambling across the rocks and politely asked if I would mind if he went for a swim. I said, no, not as long as you don't mind me taking a picture of you suffering in the water. He said no he did not mind and there's the photo. As someone that has swam in a mountain stream in early spring I can defiantly say this young fellow is learning the true meaning of a cold, cold bath. Also, I want to credit Pieter Bruegel’s painting, Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus as an inspiration for the framing of this photo.
