Rocks near Wagner Falls

Nice contrast of the perfectly sharp rocks and the softness of the stream. What was the shutter time you used on this?

Gretel - as I recall, I believe this was at f16 or f22, overcast, velvia at 50, polarizer. I believe the shutter speed was somewhere around 1-2 seconds.

 

If we use sunny 16, that'd be 1/60th. 2-3 stops for the polarizer brings it to 1/8th or 1/4th. 2-3 stops for the overcast brings it to 1/2 sec or 2sec. F22 would add another stop, so what I recall would make sense (1-2 sec). I'd say minimum 1/2 sec, max 3 sec.

Nice composition, really a lovely shot. Might I ask what method of printing or scanning did you use.

dan - scanned with Nikon 4000ED, only post-scan adjustment in this case was unsharp mask.

very nice composition, great use of shutter and I love the the added colour of the leaves on those black rocks

guy, this is really good work. I like the original work, did you actually go an put those leaves there ?? i think they could have been more focused and bigger, also I'd go ahead and do some digital alterations to it and try to color the water as light red or somethin. by the way, the concept would have been improved upon by putting just one big leaf on the rock and removing others, but overall, good work
