I have enjoyed traditional photography for over 20 years. Living in Arkansas I enjoy getting out into the outdoors areas of this state often for shooting. While Arkansas is not famous for long ranging vistas or dramatic mountain ranges, we have countless scenic areas that provide for a beautiful background for shooting. Arkansas has countless rivers and creeks that are always inviting me to hike them to indulge my photographic interests. I have enjoyed shooting water for most of my photographic career.
Water provides a constantly changing environment and can be shot throughout the four seasons.
Ever since I started to shoot, I have been fascinated by time exposures of water. Of course most people understand that the longer the exposure of a running stream, the more the water will start to look like smoke, almost flying above the rocks. With film, this was possible using the slower of the ASA films, either 64-slide film or 100 print film. The slower the ASA setting, the more room you had to work with in regards to overall time of your exposure. Shooting water with time exposures can be tricky.
