Images from the Water

Here are this week’s images from the water. These are all from the Metolius in the last couple of weeks.

The image of these mating grasshoppers was created with a technique called “focus stacking”. I took six pictures and merged them together, taking the “in focus” portions of each to create the final image.

The next image is releasing a Rainbow Trout…the water causing an abstract look.

I found a Golden Stone male mating with a Cascades Stone. You know they are cousins…and shouldn’t be doing this!

And the same fish sharing its spot with a nice Rainbow. Very surprised to see them so close!
