Misty River

One summer we took the kids to Estes Park, Colorado. We went on a great hike to some falls in the National Park. I think it was about 5 1/2 miles round trip. The kids were troupers, and we had a really good time.

With all the water around, I spent quite a bit of time over exposing the river to get the motion of the moving water. Since my camera is a little older, I do have trouble not over exposing my pictures. I am learning quite a bit about that though. One thing I've noticed about the pictures I take when I'm out hiking is that I fall in love with them more after a few weeks. At first being right there or having a vivid memory does the picture no justice. After a few weeks I really get to liking them quite a bit.

This one turned out well. The river is very misty from the over exposure, yet the rocks and the nice green trees are so crisp and clear. Over all it was an amazing hike, and I got some really good pictures.
