Water

This evocative gallery captures the fluid beauty of water. The focus remains on various bodies of water, ranging from the rhythmic tides of the sea to tranquil rivers. Shimmering reflections on a still lake offer a sense of profound calm. Long exposures can be used to good effect to soften the flow of rushing waterfalls and give a mountain stream an ethereal quality. When long exposures are used for seascapes, the sea takes on a glass-like appearance. Sometimes it can even appear misty. A subject in the foreground, like rocks or a structure like a pier, is essential.
