Hinkson Creek Blues, Columbia MO
This reflecting pool caught my eye as Nini and I walked with the dogs along Hinkson Creek in Grindstone Nature Area yesterday. There are several nice reflection pools along the creek now that the high water has started to recede. I tried to get Big Red to pose in the water for me with a big reflection, but there were too many squirrels in the area. Maybe next time.
This is a six exposure HDR. I had originally set up my tripod about 10 feet in front of where this one was taken, but noticed the branch reflection and had to move back to place it in the frame a little better. I used a circular polarizer to increase the glare on the water, bringing out the reflections and the blue sky. When we were on our way to the park I noticed we would have a boring cloudless blue sky and I thought it would not be a very productive outing. I'll have to remember to look for reflections the next time I see a cloudless sky.
