Untitled – #48

This picture was taken in November 2008, in Disney World, in Florida. Besides its serenity and beauty, this memory is of special significance to me.

I was still learning much about my, then, new camera. There were many challenges, as many photographers face, but “slowing water down” was especially problematic until this picture. Rather than “freezing” the water, I learned how to manage the camera settings to allow for a feeling of motion in the waterfall.

It was a turning point in honing my skills and a lesson that helped me, in some way, in my understanding of what I could get my camera to do to bring the best, most faithful experience of the moment.
