A Road Less Traveled

Photo of the Week: July 26th, 2010

“Painted Falls” – Semuc Champey, Guatemala – 2010

“Painted Falls” was taken in the incredibly beautiful and somewhat untraveled natural wonder of Semuc Chmpey in Guatemala. Four-teen miles from Lanquin, in the Verapaces region, the Semuc Champey natural pools are a must see if you ever visit Guatemala. This photo was taken handheld with a Canon 5D Mark II and a can 70-200 2.8L Lens. I attached my B+W 9 Stop Neutral Density filter, which allowed me to use an incredibly slow shutter speed even though it was taken in mid morning. I slightly moved my hands in a circular motion durring the exposure, effectively creating the dream like/water feeling of the entire image. I hope you enjoy!
