After seeing a photo of a friend on Flicker, I decided to treat better this photo, I think it worked.
This is a combination of 5 vertical shots. I love the green life that spring water can support in its now warmer than air temperature. Taken at Blue Spring along the Current River of Missouri.

Blue Spring, Shannon County, Missouri. Green is watercress ~ it likes to grow in clear spring water. Water is bluish due to dissolved limestone.
I threw myself out the door this morning because the light was just perfect and I had about half an hour to get it right. In my haste I was able to lose my lens cap somewhere in the middle of this river. Son of a bitch.
I like to view this one in original size and try to find my lens cap. It's probably in there somewhere.

Just playing around with long exposures & HDR. 3 exposures (-2EV, 0EV & 2EV) merged and a levels adjustment, that's about it. Just for fun.
Fall version of my twice yearly float to "conquer the wilderness."
Story about our adventrues and additional pictures to follow.
This was a short stop during a break in the weather and I almost got the entire shot in...fumbling with cold fingers!
Have a great week everyone!

Round Spring feeds the Round Spring feeds the Current River within the National Scenic Riverways, part of the National Park System in southeastern Missouri.
A wonderful place.

"Welcome to today. How do you feel? This is what today looks like. Is it what you expected? There will come a time when you wake up and realize that there will come a time when you will not.
There will come a time when the version of you on this day will seem stupid.
It is not your fault."

Big Spring is the first spring I visited on my Missouri springs tour. I was running late and didn't arrive until after sunset so I wasn't anticipating any photography, but I grabbed my camera as soon as I pulled up and saw the fog shrouding the spring. I doubt I'd have found it if it wasn't so noisy
286,000,000 gallons of water coming out of the ground tends to make a little noise. That's the average daily flow, which makes it the largest spring in the U.S. and one of the largest in the world.
This is a 30 second exposure taken at the edge of twilight. It was so dark I essentially had to guess the composition and exposure.

Here a spring issues from the base of a cliff and flows swiftly to the river. The stone structure in the forest is the ruin of a hospital that had been constructed at the opening of a cave in 1913. It was believed that the pure cool air from the cave would be beneficial to those who were suffering from "consumption" (asthma, emphysema, tuberculosis)
Description: After the Post Office approved the mailing of illustrated postcards in 1897, many hand-coloured images of the city were produced, purchased, and mailed to friends and loved ones.
This postcard depicts one of the two bridges of historic significance in what was then Port Arthur. Black Bay Bridge is a reinforced concrete single-span structure - the first of its kind in North America when it was built in 1911.
