Mogami River, Japan



Rushing water is a wonderful canvas for time-exposures. In this photograph, we see moving water swirling around a single maple leaf. By using a shutter speed slow enough to allow the river to blur, photographer Michael Yamashita has framed the sharp lines of the leaf in an abstract of water. —Annie Griffiths

Photo Tip: It doesn’t take a long exposure time to blur rushing water. Sometimes the camera can be handheld while achieving this effect. But take a tripod along so that you can try exposures of various length and see which results you like best.
