Riverscapes in Sichuan Province, China

An ongoing project I have is to capture moving bodies of water using long-time exposure. That image series is called waterscapes. While visiting the Sichuan province in China a few months ago, we stopped along a river to take a break. It was a great spot with a decent amount of water flowing over and […]

I like the feeling these black&white images provide. Image exposure times of more than a minute help to smooth out movements. The ocean […]
