The Slit
This is called the Slit, it's probably got other nicknames but this one is fitting. It's basically a tiny crack on a red sandstone rock face that's been eroded over time by the water running through it.
This spot is found in the Subway Trail in Zion National Park in the State of Utah. A slow exposure to the running water creates this milk-like effect. So now it looks like milk is flowing through this slit instead of water.
It's a slippery hike to get to this spot and you'll need high traction boots or shoes if you don't want to fall on your A@@. Once you get past this section it's on the Subway, another red sandstone monument shaped by water erosion. I'll cover it in the future.
Have you been to Zion National Park?

It is an interesting view! I was wondering how did you shoot it standing above it, lol! Until I read your post and it made more sense! The play of your eyes and mind! :) May I ask what was the shutter speed and whether you have used a filter? Surely you did ;)
Of course! My favorite aperture setting is f8 (for sharpness) but on this, I had to slow down shutter so I knocked it down to f/22 and then shutter at 15 seconds for the milky water effect. Yes, I did use a filter, a polarizer (another 2 stops down) which I probably use with 85% of my photos :)
Only 2 stops down?! A lot of detail retained! I was thinking of investing in ND filter.
I like to shoot in f11 if in aperture mode :))
Without a filter, I can only get away with 4-6 secs.
Thank you for reply!
I have a variable ND filter that can do 16 stops...Expensive stuff that I hardly use :) Polarizer, f/22 seems to just do it for me and extremely convenient since I practically leave the Polarizer on my lenses.
Is it like CPL?
Yeah, you rotate and it varies in stops :)
Oh, I am using it! I have never done the shutter speed photography with it though... I will try! Thank you for the tip! ;)
It cool
well done!
Photo is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Nice pic. I couldn’t believe it as real. I’m eager to try slow exposure with flowing water.
Also, did you mean to say it looks like milk flowing through the slit instead of water?
Good, from my end it looks more like a smoke goshing down, lovely though
