We spent a couple of nights at the Spearfish Canyon Lodge in Savoy, SD (near Lead, SD) in the Black Hills. Roughlock Falls is a mile or so up the road, with a couple of good views from below the falls.

Did you use an ND filter on this?
Yes. This is 1.6s f/16. I’ve got a bunch of images at different shutter speeds to pick from and this is my fave. I went to this location with the specific desire to take the smooth water photo
One of the important lessons of this shoot was a reminder that long exposures and fluttering leaves can be:
1) a bad combination;
2) a really interesting look
I’m not sure how to predict which of those will occur for any given shot, but it’s something I’ll be working with in the future.
Wind is not your friend. Especially if you’re trying to do macro shots of delicate flora.
