Challenge: Art of 2013 (Advanced Editing VII*)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Pentax K-30
Lens: Pentax SMC D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro WR
Location: Japanese Tea Garden, Golden Gate Park
Date: Sep 29, 2013
Aperture: f/25
ISO: 100
Shutter: 0.3 sec
Date Uploaded: Feb 22, 2014

 At the Koi Pond near the iconic bridge in the Japanese Tea Garden at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The carp swim close to the surface under stone bridges across the pond. I stayed there for a while watching the dance of the fish just beneath the surface and the play of the light on their backs, working slower and slower and letting the camera follow their movements until I was left with just the impression of their passing.

Please enjoy.
