Dog Park

This photo is from the second time we went to the trail down the road by the refinery ( big old tanks and lots of pipes around ). So, trail is a dog trail which not a fan but its what there is. The first time most shots where with the X-T4, there were a few little streams of water and i got some good shots with the gorilla pod, but all high shutter speed, didn’t occurred to me to rest the camera and leave it there for a couple of seconds. So when i was reviewing the photos and noticed how much cooler it would’ve been with the long exposure, decided to go back. Second time was in the middle of the push for iphone photography, so got all the apps ready to go, reheld and a bunch of other long exposure wonders. Weather was good and it was a good hike with the family over all. But was completely dry. No water was moving anywhere that day. Got me thinking bout the conditions that must happen for water to run thru those little streams.

The photo was 2 minutes into the hike, pretty quick. As i said, was trying to prove a point with the iphone photography, still am, and made some effort to treat the phone as id treat the XT4, focusing on the settings and paying attention to the photo making process. It was by no means the only photo, got lots. Was just one of the better ones, has the leading lines to the guy, the DynamicRange with the clouds is pretty good i’d say… The leafs in the foreground also add to the photo. In my opinion anyway.
