Swirls in foam on the Cossatot River in Southwestern Arkansas

Taken with a Canon 1ds-MKII, Canon 24-70 lens, 24mm, F9 for 1/125 of a sec, iso 100.  The Cossatot River has a wide range of photographic subject matter.  When the water is running high you can make a trip down to catch the kayakers running Cossatot Falls, and when the water gets lower, you can look for unique spots along the riverbank to work.  Most of the rock along the river is sandstone and tends to have a reddish hue in most places.  The best place to catch the kayakers is at Cossatot Falls.  Here you can perch on one of the rocks for the best view.  The falls consist of 6 separate drops and each has a unique name.  The most famous drop is the “washing machine” which tends to get the most attention.   The only problem with the Cossatot is the fact that it’s about a 3 hour drive from Little Rock so a trip there makes for a rather long day.

Swirls in foam has been printed on both canvas and Canon Platine rag.  It makes an excellent print and can be displayed in both the horizontal and vertical orientation.
