I stopped by the Ford Lock and Dam right after another storm moved through the area, hoping to use the dramatic clouds as the backdrop for the rushing waterfall. I noticed that the locks were both closed, I have not been to this dam recently, but I was surprised to see them both closed. The photo of the St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam I posted from yesterday shows the lock open with water rushing through it. I eventually wondered to St. Anthony again tonight and noticed that the lock was closed as well. This is a good sign for anyone effected by the recent flooding because it means that the river is returning to its normal volume. 3 Shot HDR with exposure times of 0.8s, 0.2s, 3.2s – ISO 50 – f/22 – 17mm Canon EOS 5D MkII Body and Canon EF 17-40 f/4L Lens + 2 stop ND filter.

Viewed from the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis the Sunset over St. Anthony Falls was very interesting yesterday. By using the multiple shot HDR technique I was able to capture the details of the buildings and bridge, made difficult by the setting sun behind them. Also the details of the clouds and the bright sun were all preserved to create this dramatic view of the waterfall at sunset. 3 Shot HDR with exposure times of 1/200s, 1/800s, 1/50s – ISO 400 – f/16 – 40mm Canon EOS 5D MkII Body and Canon EF 17-40 f/4L Lens.
