Z-Pool
4 hour exposure; Full Moon
reflecting on smooth, moving water |
||
| Z-Pool was made in the fall of 2007 in Mill Creek, near
Moab. I spent 2 nights camped in "Right Hand" about the time of
the full moon. This image is a 4 hour exposure--looking almost
directly down on a fast moving, smooth pool of water. As the full
moon rises high in the sky, it glares on the bottom edge of the pool.
Over 4 hours, it arcs above, reflecting itself on the water, and finally
it creates the sharp, sickle reflection at the top of the pool. Exposed
on 4x5" film, the negative was scanned and printed on 100% cotton art
paper. I am experimenting with silver prints of this image. |

Here's an
example of how the moon reflection tracks across a pool over time.
Light wind and objects on the surface of a pool have unexpected
results--sometimes creating very interesting highlight patterns. Video made with a series of still photos from my digital camera. |
