Tranquility of the woods

[Jarmo Juntunen]

It’s an unusually warm November in the North so I ventured a little hike at a near-by Seitseminen Nationalpark. I’m also a sucker for long exposure - ND filter shots, so here you are.

Yes, flowing water!

I wonder how it would look as a combination of a fast shutter and a slow shutter speed. One could then combine in PS to get both the flow and detail?

Good idea, Asher.

Good idea, Asher.

I get a bit it frustrated when I see a perfect smooth sheet of water in a series of waterfalls and streams where the spray would be wetting the photographer’s face, but there’s no record of that!

I have not myself combined fast shutter speed with a slow shutter but I intend to try it at the next waterfall by planning ahead and schlepping a tripod along!
