Adventures with Pinhole

Day two would involve processing and printing their creations. A great time was had by all!!!© Jo Bradford 2007

I stood on the bridge over a fast running stream that meanders through the woods to make this exposure. You can see the stream has a small waterfall in it and the exposure was just long enough to achieve a smoothed over blur as the water rushed over the rocks on it's way to the sea
