Waiting to be Washed Away
Posted by CMLDigitalDetails (NA, United States) on 3 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
In one section of the Pemigewasset River there was a large area of flat rock that could be explored while the river flowed around it. At the edge of the rocks there were autumn leaves falling into a thin layer of water. Eventually the leaves were being forced to move and being washed away by the river's powerful current. I decided to try to take a close up shot of a single leaf that was in a thin layer of water with the river's water running behind. Because I was so close to water, I was trying to avoid placing my camera on the ground. After a serious of tripod configurations, I had no choice but to place the camera down on the ground with extreme caution and use the timer. I am hoping it was worth all the trouble.

A study in contrast - stillness and motion. Nice opportunity you had here!

simple and beautiful and I love it! the anticipation of the water surging through is quite superb! the main leaf is perfectly sharp too - great vision and result!

Outstanding find, outstanding capture. In the background, the white water seems like a rushing tidal wave making its way to where the one leaf currently rests.
