Flooded Forest

I have driven by this forest many times and gazed in with an eye to capture it with my lens.  Tonight, with the sun nearly set, an orchestra of frogs created the ambience while I stood until dark with my tripod and camera on the side of the road.  Thawing winter snow and spring rains brought an abundance of water creating a haunting scene.

I captured these images using slow exposures of up to 30 seconds and a very small aperture for great depth of field.
