With great input from Don, Taz, and JonaBeth, I went back out to Tumbling Creek in the Clinch Mountain Wildlife Management area of Washington County, Va. this week. This is a really powerful creek and I hope the pictures capture that characteristic. It swallowed up my remote wireless shutter release also!

Although rain was predicted, it turned out to be a gorgeous day.

These are tripod shots with a variable ND filter on a D7100 / 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 Nikkor lens .
The ISO was set at 250 from a previous outing and I forget to change it! :whip
Autofocus 0ff
VR (lens stabilization) Off
Mirror-up mode

    Yea buddy!!! Now we're talkin'! That's EXACTLY what I wanted to see, in terms of energy, but not stopped in time. Gorgeous set.

    Jonabeth, thanks so much. As some one whose familiar with whitewater, that means a lot.
    I'm really liking your shots as well.

    These are much better! Well done. It's a very pretty stream.

    All but the sixth seem to me to be a bit yellowish. Color casts are not necessarily bad but you might adjust the white balance and see if you like it better. I copied one and adjusted the balance to show you what I mean:

    It's really a choice. I kind of the like golden glow of yours.

    Super location, we'll captured. Would love to see some shots of this area in the Autumn (fall).

    I SO regret not getting here in the autumn season. That will not happen next year! Thanks for the nice comments Carl!
