The mist closed in as I was on my way over to see my mother this morning and I had great hopes for some shots in the mist.  But I didn’t have my camera with me right then.  After seeing Mom and doing several small chores I collected the camera, lenses and tripod and got over to Fall Creek.  The mist was largely gone but there was enough for an accent.

Colors in overcast weather are nicely saturated and have their own kind of appeal.

For the last few days I have been visiting an area of the creek where it drops through small riffles and falls.  The beauty of having a long lens (400 mm, a strong telephoto) is that one doesn’t have to wear waders and get into the water to get close ups.

These little falls are gorgeous.  Slowing down the exposure a little stretches out the flow a bit without losing some of the detail.   With the water bouncing around as it does, three shots in a row will produce appreciably different photographs. Best to work with a tripod and keep snapping.

I like the contrast of the smoothly flowing and chaotic water one next to the other.

This one is my favorite:

There were areas of calm water as well.

There is a feeling of being removed from civilization here except that the bridge for I465 is 100 feet away.  This shot was taken upstream from under the bridge:

There is a little mist there.  More mist on the way home:

Luck favors the prepared.  Maybe next time we have a good mist I’ll be ready for it.
