Fall in the Cuyahoga Valley
Exp: 17mm, 8sec @ f/13, iso 100
Gear: Rebel XTi, 17-40F4L, Circular Polarizer, Tripod
This is a shot from back in October after a short hike back to Blue Hen Falls. The falls were not much more than a trickle but the swirling leaves makes this shot interesting. I used the polarizer for 2 purposes, the first was to knock out some of the reflections in the water and secondly to lengthen the exposure time to get enough movement in the leaves.

On a side note I haven’t been doing a very good job posting articles so in the next couple weeks I’m going to make an effort to post more. As always if you like something here on the site and would like a print don’t hesitate to drop me a line you can find my contact info on the main site www.williamsebastianphoto.com

Hey Amie,
This shot was a single 8 second exposure from about 3ft above the water’s surface with a wide angle lens. The long exposure blurs the water and the movement in the leaves to give it a very neat feel. Thanks for the Comment
