A week ago I discovered an overgrown path through Watersmeet
Woods which had close access to the North Branch of the Chicago River,
and I had an idea that it would be great for landscape shots of the water so
I came back the following day but it was overrun with spiders and after
losing it when I brushed my hand against a wet fern I decided to seek
another view of the River. I found a few inner-forest paths along the bike
trail which gave way to a view of the water. There weren't nearly as
many spiders but it was still pretty rough terrain.
I wanted to get a landscape shot with water blur, and the lens I was
using (18-50mm f/2.8) had an optical stabilizer so the rest of the scene
wouldn't turn out too motion-blurred. I tried to get these shots to make
the forest have a jungle-like feel to it.
