Light Trails, South Umpqua River

Canon 30D, 17-40 f/4L, ISO: 100, aperture: f/22, shutter: 4 seconds, filter: circular polarizer, Post: Lightroom

As sorry as I am to see the summer go, I do love getting out and shooting fall colors.  I like to find a nearby river and look for color, reflections and moving water.  The South Umpqua near Roseburg, Oregon has all the right elements for a good capture.  Look for an eddy in the river with rotating foam bubbles.  Use a slow shutter speed for some interesting light trails.  You may need a ND filter in bright conditions to get a multi second exposure.  The polarizer helped reduce the glare on the water, revealing an interesting stream bed.
