Small stream in a wooded valley north of Friends Clumps was in full flow after all the wet weather of late
My favourite type of photography is seascapes - none more so than anonymous photographs - photos that could have been taken anywhere - meaning all pre-concieved feelings and ideas are absent.
This photograph was made during a beautifuly subtle dawn well before the sun rising. In unusualy mild conditions I spent a bit of time picking my way along the rugged and craggy coastline until I cam across this tiny inlet which was charged with water with every big wave. I framed the shot to try and create flow through the photograph - I deliberately left the rocks on the right hand side of the frame to further help guide the eye.

How much flow…
… is too much?
This is a topic that has come up a few times at Coffee and Cameras. It’s fair to say that opinions are divided.
I like a bit of flow (or motion blur). For me, it conveys movement and gives an added dimension to an image. But, it can be overdone.
Today’s two shots were taken in slightly different ways.
Shot 1 was taken with an open aperture (f2.5) and a moderately fast shutter speed (1/40th of a second). The intention here was to blur the background and give a tiny bit of movement in the water between the rocks.
Shot 2 was taken at f5, with a shutter speed of 1/10th of a second. The intention here was to create some motion blur, while keeping the rocks etc sharp. This almost works for me. I like the upper two-thirds of the shot. But the foreground is a bit too soft. It doesn’t convey motion, it just looks out of focus.
So, what’s the lesson?
Firstly, enjoy the process (of course).
Secondly, experiment with shutter speeds. Or, if you’re properly equipped – with a tripod – do some focus stacking.

This is for the gardeners who "can't" grow a certain flower. Try Four o'Clocks. It looks like they'll grow just about anywhere.
_______________________________________________________________
Named for its habit of blooming after 4:00 pm, Four o'Clocks grow and flower almost anywhere in the U.S., and thrive in conditions where some flowers would languish, including hot, windy areas.

Bennett Spring State Park, located approximately 12 miles west of Lebanon, Missouri, is one of America’s premier trout destinations. The spring, which flows into the Niangua River, has a daily average flow of more than 100 million gallons. Osage Indians credit a large earthquake for the creation of the spring. Their belief was that the Creator caused this quake when he became angry with the tribe. The spring provided an ideal location for grain and saw mills in the 1800s, the most successful of which was operated by Peter Bennett. The spring valley became a popular camping, fishing and hunting ground for farmers while waiting for their grain to be ground at the Bennett mill. Peter Bennett died in 1882, and although his son William continued its operation, the Bennett Mill burned in 1895.
In 1900 the Missouri Fish Commissioner introduced 40,000 mountain trout into the spring, and a privately owned fish hatchery was built in 1923. In 1924, the state purchased the spring and part of the surrounding area to create one of Missouri’s first state parks. The park is now owned and operated by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and the Missouri Department of Conservation operates the trout hatchery. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), created by the federal government in the 1930s, contributed much to the present-day character of the park. Their projects included cabins, shelter houses, roads and trails, and the beautiful arched bridge across the spring branch. The CCC also constructed the concrete dam just upstream of the stone bridge to make the spring more habitable to the non-native trout and to maintain a constant water level at Bennett Spring.

This diptych is made from two photographs that I took in Nepal. The first is an aerial view of the Kali Gandaki riverbed in Upper Mustang. The second is a pile of brooms for sale by a street vendor in Kathmandu. I was immediately struck by the similarity between the patterns in the two photos, despite the enormous difference in scale.
