Exploring the Power of Water will continue

I’ve been working on a number of projects lately and I hope to catch up on my water series here in a few days.  We had some pretty dynamic weather here for a couple of weeks and that produced a lot of raw material — I hope you will find it worth the wait.

Technical: Above taken with a Canon 5D Mark 2, 100-400mm f/4.5L lens with a 1.4x teleconverter (effective focal length of 530mm) and a polarizing filter, f/16, ISO 100, and 1/8 second exposure — all mounted on a tripod, but I don’t remember which one (now that I have two, I’ll have to start making notes).  Processed with Lightroom 2, exposure 0, recovery 18, fill 49, blacks 44, clarity +33, vibrance +21.

April 2010 Wallpaper

April’s image was taken a year ago as we visited a number of National Wildlife Refuges along the east coast. This image was taken at the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge outside of Savannah, Georgia.

Our itinerary didn’t allow for much in the way of ideal timing for light and conditions. In this case the image was taken around two in the afternoon on a fairly sunny day — not on a misty morning. The hanging mosses and sunlight on the road still made for an enchanting visit.

If you like this image you can download it to your computer and use it as your desktop wallpaper. A few of the common screen sizes are available:
