Brandy Creek

Today, I met up with my brother’s family after work and we all went up to Wiskeytown Lake to cool off. We were swimming near Brandy Creek and near the end of the day, the light was pretty good. While this shot isn’t one of those jaw dropping shots, I think I captures the serenity of this mild creek flowing by these very round rocks. There’s a bit of a hot spot in the back right corner, but overall, the shot is pretty evenly exposed. I still feel like I’m learning how to compose shots like this. I tried ten or so vantages before I took this. I knew it was the one when I composed the shot. I found these really cool rocks for the foreground. You can see all the color from the other rocks just under the surface and I’m standing right in the middle of the stream. I used my .6 stop ND filter to get my exposure over a couple seconds.
