Inspiration for freshwater streams

[Fabian]

Hi all,

I'm getting a bit bored with most local lakes, so I started looking into the small streams around here.

I struggle a bit with water clarity, although from outside it looks gin clear, underwater it's rarely more than 1.5-2m. 

Does anyone have some inspiration for this kind of photography? Appreciate all links, Instagram accounts and so on!

Thanks,

Fabian

Hi @Fabian! The vast majority of my photography is done in small to medium North American streams. While great clarity is nice, 1.5-2m is totally doable. You don't need great visibility as long as you can get your lens close to your subjects, so close focus wide angle and macro can work well. We are fortunate to have high freshwater biodiversity here in the US, but I'm sure there are some very interesting things to shoot in German streams too. If you're interested, my instagram is @isaacszabo.

What Isaac said, also some European amphibians form large breeding aggregations so a little research may turn up some interesting photo opportunities.  Instagram @brycegibsonuwp
