I love making landscape images with movement in them. Sometimes there will be moving waves at the coast, sometimes swaying grasses in a field, sometimes a cascading waterfall and sometimes patterns and ripples in the moving water of a stream.
I never cease to be amazed at how using a longish shutter speed or moving a camera during exposure can transform a scene from the mundane to the emotive, and such was the case here on a drab winter's day in our local park.
I was attracted initially to the patterns of light and dark on the surface of the water as the stream passed over hidden boulders, and when I took the picture I already had in my mind's eye this finished image, which is far removed from the original capture!
