Friday night's snowfall on the mountains near Vancouver has been melting for most of the weekend, so when I was passing Larson Creek in West Vancouver, the water was bubbling along down the hill at quite a rate!
I was heading to the coast to photograph the sunset, but I had to stop and take a quick shot of the creek, as the golden rays of the setting sun were lighting up the trees with a wonderful warm light.
Fortunately the creek was shallow enough that the water didn't come over my shoes, as it was extremely cold! I used a combination of a circular polariser, bringing out more reflection in the wet rocks, and a 3-stop neutral density filter, allowing me to take a 30 second exposure and show the motion of the water.
I'm a British software developer and photographer living in Vancouver, BC. I mainly photograph landscapes, cityscapes, night scenes, and water.
If you're interested in any...
