About this image

This photo is of the Owenmore river, located along the drive through the mountains from Leenane to Westport in County Mayo in the west of Ireland. What grabbed my attention was the pattern of the white water as it rolled over the rocks in the foreground. I love looking at white water. I find it quite hypnotic. I love to picture in my mind how it will look over a long exposure. Long exposures are great at bringing out the organic forms of the water movements. I also loved the way the river weaved from left to right as it made it's way diagonally across the scene, and how the Partry mountains lay in shadow in the distance. The light was extremely challenging to say the least as I was pretty much looking directly into the sun. I placed the sun just out of shot and used the case of my ND filter to shield the lens from flare and halos.
