I went up Millcreek Canyon this evening with pro365ject and we had a great opportunity to shoot some moving water with this steady stream. Getting to these spots wasn't the easiest but it sure was worth it. I've got a lot to learn and we plan to go back and I'm sure there will be a lot of room for improvement on my part once I study these shots some more.
The water was surprisingly COLD being peak of summer and all. But I guess there still must be snow melting somewhere up there or else we wouldn't have all this water flowing.
You can see all the settings at the bottom right of how I took the shot. There is a surprisingly amount of light for the time of picture we shot this. It was after sunset just around dusk. The post production consists of enhanced hue and thats about it other than the borders.
Walking along the stream in the forest near the village of St. Maddalena in Dolomites :)
The village of St. Maddalena is located at the rear end of the Villnöss valley at an altitude of 1,339 m above sea level in the Trentino-Alto Adige region in northern Italy. This is the place where the most popular photographic subjects are to be found, as the Church of St. Magdalena and the Geisler/Odle massif. The main peak of the massif is Sass Rigais, 3,025 m above sea level. The village is a popular destination for tourists, especially those interested in hiking and winter sports.

Went up into the mountains today ....Ok when i sent off it WASN'T raining ....when i got to this usually small mountain stream the heavens opened and the wind really started ....This is in for the day i thought to myself as is seat in my waterproofs huddled beside that rock ...Time for a quick exit .....
A small stream of water was carving it's way down the rock funnel. Amazing to see what water accomplishes.
There are some 240,000 miles of streams and rivers throughout the UK. Streams and rivers are sensitive habitats in terms of climate change, with cold water species being particularly at risk.
Trees clearly offer shade to rivers and streams and this is important in mitigating the effects of high temperatures. As water warms so the level of dissolved oxygen falls. However, trees also help the resilience of these freshwater systems by the input of energy rich material - in the form of leaves. It has been estimated that between 5 and 8 kg of leaf material falls into each metre of a woodland stream in the Autumn.
Cedar Creek, Natural Bridge State Park, Virginia
"But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
~ Amos 5:24
One of the first scenes you see when you pass through the old entryway for Natural Bridge State Park and head down the stairs is this peaceful little alcove quietly displaying the deceptively gentle force that formed the Natural Bridge in Virginia. Cedar Creek certainly doesn't look like much here, but over millions of years it helped form a 215-foot-high (66 m) natural arch that Thomas Jefferson, before he became our 3rd President, proclaimed to be "the most Sublime of nature's works".
One would think the Natural Bridge itself would be more famous; in 1774 Jefferson actually purchased it from King George III (yes, that King George whom he rebelled against 2 years later; and he only paid 20 Shillings for it!) Before that, a large stone engraved with "G.W." and bearing a surveyor's cross there at Natural Bridge proves that our 1st President, George Washington himself surveyed the bridge when he came through in 1750. Nor were they the only U.S. Presidents who visited the structure; both James Monroe (5th President) and Martin Van Buren (8th President) stayed at Jefferson's log cabin retreat there.
The bridge is even mentioned by Herman Melville in describing Moby-Dick. Yet in spite of all that history, Natural Bridge was only made a State Park, not even a National Park, as late as 2016.
The park features a lot to do besides the creek and bridge, but I still find this spot here to be the most memorable due to its tranquil setting. The power of water, even when flowing gently.

While in the Smokie Mountains we stopped multiple times to photograph the scenery. I was happy to take photos of my lovely daughter too. This photo is called “Jamie By The Stream.” Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be kind.
