Fish Ladder

[snerd]

Posting here because they're cell phone pics. iPhone 6+.

I have these all on my good camera, but hate sitting down to process them. I'll get to it eventually!

Pretty fancy compared to the ones I've been to.

Are those Grade I or Grade III?

these might have come out better than the camera ones

Sorry, I don't speak Greek fluently.

Yeah, done though the depression-era Works Process Administration (WPA), so it was tax money at work. Never mind that we have no species of fish native to Oklahoma that swim upstream to spawn. Just your typical .gov boondoggle. But I never hear of it referred to in that way.

That does seem fancy. When do they operate it?

I've only seen two in person. One was a fairly old style--similar to a rocky substrate. The other was literally an elevator that would carry the fish up the dam, and then release them through a slide. Someone had to sit there and operate it. Fun fun.

I don't believe they ever operate it. We don't have fish smart enough to use it!

I originally wanted to get down to the bottom on the other side to get pics. But it was probably 30-40 feet down some pretty rocky edges. With my back, I decided better of it.

Are you saying my photography skills on my good equipment is worse than my cell phone photography?!

Don't answer that!!!!!

It was mid-afternoon and the sun was very bright. I used the Lee Big Stopper to turn it down a few notches. Got some 15-20 second exposures. I'm hoping they at least look as good as my cell pics lol!!

That's crazy.

No, that's .gov. Not their money, what do they care?! They just like spending it. I'm sure it employed a few men during the depression, so it's all justified by their reasoning.

Still, someone would have had to have said: "hey, let's build a fish ladder on a small dam". Who recommended it and what was their reason?

I use the Camera+ app on my iPhone, love it. Usually add a little Clarity Pro and then sharpen a bit. That's it.
