This is one of a series of photos I took along Lithia Creek in Ashland, Oregon in August. Using both a polarizing filter and a 5x neutral density filter, I was able to slow the shutter speed to smooth out the water trying to find what worked best and 2 or 3 seconds had the look I was after. The polarizing filter cut through most of the reflections in the foreground but left the reflection in the middle. I like the colors in that, the transparency and the sense of movement in the foreground. This ended up being about the different ways the water can look.
