Back from the usual "rain walk". It's a light, soaking mist that hasn't stopped for several days. Makes me want to hibernate, but once outside and walking, it's fine.

I reworked an image from the old Yashica Mat medium format film camera, tried to bring out the shadows a little more without ruining the image.

The lighting was really difficult in this little canyon, and the old camera with slide film doesn't give much leeway. I used the Sunny 16 rule for the highlights and opened up one stop.

There were a large number of Coho Salmon in the pool; obviously, this was the end of their journey to spawn, as they would not be able to negotiate the series of waterfalls.

Thanks Paul and suntouched. I'm thinking that I should have held a polarizer in front of the taking lens, but you have to go with you have at the time.

A beautiful photo done very well in difficult conditions. If you shoot this scene again with a polarizer please do post it. What river or creek is it?
