High Water on Jacob’s Creek

It feels as if the past month has been nothing but freezing temperature’s and snow.  Today however, that changed just a bit for half the day when the mercury got above 40 and all that snow and ice started to melt.  It rained for most of the day as well.  Reports started coming in about local streams, creeks and rivers being inundated with loads of extra water.  Once I finished working, I grabbed a camera, lens and tripod and off I went to a local creek to see it for myself.

Starting in the early afternoon, the temperature started to drop again and the rain turned to snow.  The light was fading fast so I set up my tripod, attached my remote shutter and prayed that the weather sealing on the X-T1 and Fuji 18-135mm would keep the water out.

ISO was locked at 200 and the aperture set to f/8 (and be there).  Shutter speeds varied between 3 seconds at the beginning and once the light was about gone it slowed down to 13 seconds.  The camera and lens seems to have weathered the snow/rain combo without issue.
