Beauty Below the Dam

I went for a walk in the Meadowlark Prairie section of West Eugene Wetlands this morning. It truly was a wetlands today, and a downpour started after I got about a half mile from my car. It started right when I got to a small dam where I wanted to get some photographs. I shot the pictures anyway, put the camera away and began the walk back. By the time I got to the car, I was soaked through and I had a light jacket plus photo vest on. I got wet clear through all my clothes. Nothing to do but head back home for some dry clothes. That's where I stayed, because the wet conditions aren't expected to improve till tomorrow. Still I got some of the pictures I wanted, including this one of water detail as it came from the dam. Some would blur the water, but not me! I wanted that detail! :)

Ahhh.. super beautiful capture of the powerful moving waters!

Wonderful, Vern. The contrast between the foam and the jet-back rocks (basalt?) in the foreground is very striking.

Stay dry out there Vern! ... Or, at least, keep your gear dry!

A splendid shot, Vern. I never liked the blurred-water effect and much prefer the details. V

Wonderful capture of the waters! v

Beautiful capture of this wild cascade.

Beautiful capture. Funny, but the trapezoidal shape makes me think "fireplace," and it's quite the opposite!
Paul Milholland21-Oct-2017 01:42
Lots of different textures in the water.

Beautiful well comp[osed image with good capture of the falling waters.

A super waterfall image.

Oh, really beautiful, Vern - quite elegant looking. Sometimes blurring is nice, but here the detail was definitely the right choice and makes for a marvelous shot.

crisply captured and so attractive...blurring is definitely overdone these days, so agree with the fast shutter speed..

Stunning image Vern! It was worth the wet trip for sure V

A wonderful wet and rainy day picture, I also like to see the water details as they are.
