Took these pictures at a river that is only about a 10-minute walk from home. The river is relatively clean, but like so many rivers in Japan, some household water waste spills in this very river. I am hesitant to let me dog play in this river.

I wish there was some public information that was easily accessible on my iPhone so that I could check the water quality. Dogs and water aside, I love how the light from dimming sky played on the water surface.

River [Pentax K-50] 1/320 sec., f/4.5, ISO 400 #river #evening #Japan #川 #夕方

Like the band of gold stretching along the water's edge.

Ripples [Pentax K-50] 1/200 sec., f/4.5, ISO 400 #river #evening #Japan #川 #夕方

When I saw these ripples, I was suddenly reminded of the Loch Ness Monster or the movie Jaws.

Carp [Pentax K-50] 1/30 sec., f/4, ISO 400 #river #evening #carp #Japan #川 #夕方 #鯉

My apologies for the over saturation and HDR effect applied to this pix.

Carp [Pentax K-50] 1/40 sec., f/4.5, ISO 400 #river #evening #carp #Japan #川 #夕方 #鯉

Like how parts of the carp stick out of the water. I wonder if fish can sense that a part of their anatomy is sticking out of the water or not?

River sunset [Pentax K-50] 1/200 sec., f/8, ISO 400 #river #evening #sunset #Japan #川 #夕方 #日没

Like how the water meanders from right to left and back again as it courses down the river bed obstructed by small sandbars and vegetation.

River [Pentax K-50] 1/250 sec., f/5.6, ISO 400 #river #evening #sunset #Japan #川 #夕方 #日没

Wonder if anyone can guess the point of this shot? I was aiming for the width of the water cascading over the small dam while catching the reflection of the waterworks shed reflecting in the upper-left corner.

Wish I knew what part of the camera setup makes the water look like flowing metal or jelly-like.

田んぼ電車

Took these pictures at Shin-Matsuda Station on the way home from work.

The last two pictures were taken during a late-evening walk.

酒匂川

Today's shots were a first for me. I had never actually put my Handycam into the water to take pictures or videos.

The lighting, weather, and clear water at the river today offered up a great opportunity to try out the waterproof effectiveness of the camera. I was surprised both with the quality of video, sound, and satisfied with photo quality.
