Middle Fork
This image fascinates me, not because it is a particularly good image (it isn’t), but I really like looking at the rendering of the water. As usual I have to beg off a little because at this size you only can get a slight suggestion of what is going on (it looks mushy to me at this size, ~12%). There is surface… everywhere streaks, splashes, bubbles, gurgles. At any size 25% and up it looks downright painterly. At 50%-100% I can get lost in it. I will have to make a large print one day.
Technically it is a bit of a mystery. I shot this at either f22 or f32 (not sure which) but instead of it turning to fuzzy mud it is all surface. Was it the speed of the water? The turbidity? f22-32? A special quality of this lens? I don’t know.

Dolly Sods
I expect this is one few will find compelling. When I say I have been working toward this for over forty years I mean it. Someday I will have an exhibit of just these, the most personal of images. I have made only a handful of them over the years.
