Smooth Waters
Algonquin Park, Ontario. This long exposure image smooths out the water, making the rapids appear milky white. Taken on the Track and Tower Hiking trail in Algonquin Park.
The contrast between the flowing water and the solidity of the autumn forest creates a photograph that is both peaceful and energizing. The rocks, some covered with moss and autumn leaves, provide anchoring points of stillness amidst the flow. Behind and around them, the forest rises in layers of colour.
Images of flowing water feel meditative to me. The silky texture of the long exposure creates a sense of motion frozen in time. In combination with the warmth of the autumn colours, this photograph offers both visual excitement and peace.
For display, I recommend a medium to large format that allows the flowing water patterns and colour details to be appreciated. The Chromaluxe metal print process enhances both the luminous quality of the water and the intensity of the fall colours.
