River Rapids

Western North Carolina has plenty of rivers, beautiful basins and lots of features. The problem I have always had is, I can’t always seem to find the shot inside all of that chaos. Today was a bit different, I had stopped to shoot a waterfall, but it was low flow, uninspired, and a bit messy, all in the attempt to test my new lens. 8-16mm f2.8. Those extra 2 mm at the ultra wide end really makes a difference. When the waterfall didn’t pan out, I began appraising the river, and these rapids stuck out to me. So, to do the most I could with the time I had I crawled down the bank and perched atop a large boulder. The tripod set at an awkward angle as I worked with the environment to get the best composition I could without getting into the water.
