Here's a new photo, taken along one of the rivers that cascades into Lake Ediza from the glaciers and snowfields below Mt. Ritter. This photo was taken in late July, when many wildflowers were still present in the meadows and along the streambeds around Ediza.
I took this photo with a 5 second exposure, using a 6-stop neutral density filter (Singh-Ray). I usually carry a 6-stop and a 10-stop ND filter with me, and they work well for daylight stream images such as this. It is really tough to see through these filters, however, so everything has to be prefocused, then the filter is put on. These filters also cause me to have one gripe about my Canon 5D camera...it is impossible to read the meter settings through the viewfinder when one of these filters is used in the bright sunlight of midday. I wish the meter display in the viewfinder would remain bright enough to see the shutter and meter settings under such circumstances (of course, I merely have to look at the settings on the LCD panel on the top of the camera...but I generally rely on the display in the viewfinder). Oh well...the 5D does indeed take some pretty great images, so this is a minor complaint.
