May Theme - Moving Water

In the spirit of warming temps and melting snow, let's see those shots where running water - rivers, streams, creeks, etc. - are a major element in the scene.

For the newer folks, each month's cover shot is selected from those submitted for the monthly theme. There are no hard guidelines for selecting the cover shot - creativity, uniqueness, impact, how well the image matches the theme... all are considered, and tend to carry more weight than technical mastery (although technicals are important).

Here's some very slow moving water photographed with a 20-second exposure.

Right off I-70 exit a little ways after Silver Plume.

Great Smoky Mtn. Nat'l Park

Something from the San Juans a year or so ago...

Another from Crystal Creek Falls

My in-laws just passed through GSD and reported back that Medano is flowing very nicely. Reminded me of this shot made a couple of years ago.

Virgin River, Utah

North St. Vrain river in Lyons

Soldier Canyon, Lory State Park, Belleview CO

For some reason this is my wife's single favorite shot of mine. No one else knows why.

I didn't overblur the water on purpose to try to capture the rush of the Spring snowmelt.

San Juans last summer.

A contrarian approach... North St. Vrain Creek in spring flood, ca. 1988.

The thing I love about the monthly theme is that it brings to my remembrance images long buried, and motivates me to find, scan, and share them.

Being a kayaker, this is a subject near and dear to my heart, very enjoyable and beautiful images are making this another great thread.
This was taken on my hike into the Subway in Zion NP

Geneva Creek Runoff, Mount Evans Wilderness

Here is one from last fall at El Dorado Canyon. Don I love your B&W - great capture! Everyones work is awsome.

Great stuff everyone!!! It's awesome to see such a variety!! My contribution is from a trip to Moab a few years ago. Actually, the main destination was Telluride for some winter photography, but when I saw that the Moab forecast called for lots of rain, I headed there first hoping for some different types of images! I found some for sure!

It was pouring as I drove into the Windows section of Arches NP, and this little scene caught my eye, and I just had to stop! I'd never really seen this much running water in the desert before, so it was a real treat, even if I was getting drenched!

Waterfalls are one of my most favorite subjects to photograph over anything else. I am enjoying everyone's contribution to this thread as each and every photograph is inspiring and beautiful!

Another from Catamount Creek above green Mountain Falls near Hwy 24 " Ute Pass"

I found these rapids on Glacier Creek today. These were just above where Glacier Creek joins the Big Thompson River.

For those that are interested, it was taken at 45 mm, f14 at 1/8 second.

Near 1000 Drips Falls, Smokies 2006

Glacier Creek last Monday, 5/7

Nice shots, everyone!

This was taken over the past weekend: Pine Creek, Dixie NF, Utah

Here's one from last fall in GSMNP.

From Eldorado Canyon.

I think this is my favorite shot (so far) from Pine Creek last weekend.

Cow Creek - Rocky Mountain National Park

Along the trail to Bridal Veil Falls...

James - it could be just my laptop screen, but the image version you posted looks a bit over-saturated, particularly on the blues but on the other channels as well. Otherwise, quite lovely - I'm so looking forward to Summer...

I found this floating in the surf of the Uncompahgre at Ridgway.

Art L.

Well there's your problem... he's up a creek without a kayak

At least he still had the paddle (and was able to show it off to everyone). That's the only important part, right?

Fish Creek Falls, Steamboat Springs, July 3, 2006 at dawn.

Lower Yellowstone Falls, September 2004

Here's a shot taken along Red Mountain Pass...

From the archives: last fall at the famous Virgin River bridge looking at The Watchman.

Shot in Arapahoe National Forest on 4x5/TMAX/110mm

Split Rock Falls

Rich

Adam, great shot of the Watchman. Just wondering what time of year (month/day) this was as this and your other portfolio shots look like you hit the area perfectly for fall color.

Great portfolio BTW!
Craig

Craig, I find the first week on November to be great in Zion. Cottonwoods and Maples turning colors at the same time.

Absolutely stunning shot Adam!

There must be a zillion photographers that stand on that bridge waiting for the shot you got, Adam. Those colors are outrageous.

stunning shot Adam!

A little late joining in on this topic. From Hawaii two years ago.

A small stream in La Plata Canyon shortly before it joins the La Plata River.

I think I am so late on this one that the party is actually over...

This is an oldie from Brainard Lake area.
