Yosemite Creek, Yosemite National Park It was bitterly cold this winter morning in the Valley, but that meant I had the creek to myself. I enjoyed the energy of the flowing water.
Bridalveil Creek, Yosemite National Park After an hour and a half photographing the creek in freezing temperatures, I was heading back to the car when the reflections on this part of the creek attracted my eye. This photo was an experiment to see if I could capture the range of colors I was seeing move across the surface of the flowing water. A long exposure spread the blue reflections of the sky and the yellow of the sunlight on the canyon walls.
Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Enchantment Lakes Basin, Washington Here is beautiful Snow Creek below the waterfall in the photo above. This photo is in the early morning when the sun painted golden highlights in the sky, the creek, and the larch trees in their fall colors.
