Lynket Effect

My better half loves photographing water - and particularly reflections in water. If there is a puddle, stream, or anything larger around, I'll always know where to find her. I seem to gravitate more to landscapes but on this occasion I took her lead as we precariously climbed down among some very slippery rocks on the edge of fast flowing rapids. I didn't see it at first but when using a longer lens, it didn't take long for the fall colors of the trees on the opposite shore to reveal themselves in the shaded parts of the water. There was even a bit of blue from the sky, The end result looked like someone had daubed a brush into the colors of an artists palette and painted broad strokes over the water. I was hooked on the Lynket Effect and we spent over an hour photographing on that one spot.
