Long-exposure Detail of a Bajos del Toro Waterfall

Water spills over dark rock into a pool at Bajos del Toro, Costa Rica, filling the frame with fine white threads and soft, billowing spray. A 1/8-second exposure on the OM-3 smooths the falling water while retaining the shape of the separate cascades and the texture of the volcanic rock. The close composition concentrates on the movement of the water rather than the scale of the whole waterfall.
