A Place to Rest.

Fantastic!

Thank you Phil! I can only say that this one turned out better than I had ever thought it would. Regards.

I love how the bright foliage frames the picture and draws your eye in. Great shot.

Thanks Cindy, kind of you to say so! When I was taking this photograph a forest elf (in the guise of an older lady) approached me and said that it would turn out well. True story. Regards.

this is absolutely a great photograph , I just love the composition and colors. magnificent use of natural framing.

Hey Walter saw this one on the front page today and clicked on it because I knew it was your's. Looks good dude

 

Later Buddy

Great photo, I like the colors.

 

Best regards, Simon.

Thanks...I've always liked this one myself. I have gone back to this location several times but I have never duplicated or bettered this version. And thank you Simon, too. Regards.

Truly, a place to rest. I need this in my office. Great shot!

Great shot Walter. Really a lovely seen and really well captured. Nice to see a friend on the front page. And it's actually a photograph!!! Holy crap!!! A non-overly-manipulated image on photo.net? Who woulda thunk??? :-)

It looks like a very nice place to take a rest - a wonderful place indeed.

And you have captured it so well. The composition, with the branches almost surounding the river and the bridge in the back are just perfect. When it comes to the colours - Splendid is the word, both on the trees and the water.

The blue water takes me in at once. I hope you have it framed and on the wall. Thanx for sharing it with us. Best regards LKV:

Dave, is it really you? It's been a long time (too long) since we spoke last. Yes, this was made using my preferred format and the best film ever made (RVP). I was lucky to get the results that I did; everything seemed to come together for once.

 

Hey Jonathan, thanks for the comment. Since I have no pride, I must unabashedly say that a really nice, true photographic print (Chromira) is available. If you like, click on the Tech Details tab above for a link to my website. Just think of how "restful" you would be at your office ;0) Regards.

Walter - it's absolutely beautiful. I'm a beginner, but this is the kind of image I aspire to. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bernard! You might be interested to know that I had to go back to this location four times before I was able to get something workable. The idea is not to give up but to keep trying. Regards.

Yeah, it's me. I don't get online much any more but it's always a joy to see shots like this when I do. Hope you're well...

I'm doing okay, Dave; thanks for asking. Hope you're well, too. I took a look at your website. Man, you have some nice stuff over there! We miss you here. Regards.

There's not much else I can add Walter, your shots have long been an inspiration for me, thanks for your encouraging comment. I wonder, where exactly are you when you took this picture? In a tree? Seems odd that there would be two bridges located so closely, unless they are single lanes.

 

The depth of field is tremendous, and the amount of detail afforded by medium format never ceases to amaze me.

 

Did you use the Didymium filter to boost the reds? Does it subdue the greens much or does it boost them as well?

as to my location, I have this anti-grav belt, so I was just sort'a floating around out there above the brush ;0)

 

Seriously, though, I had my tripod fully extended and I was standing on the top of a fence that was placed to keep the reckless from falling down into the ravine below and drowning. I'm about sixty feet or so above the river on the edge of an escarpment. About thirty feet behind me is a small rustic stone and timber shelter house with the four walls open to the surrounding forest that would comfortable hold, oh, about a dozen hikers or so. It is a nice place to stop for a moment.

 

The Didymium filter that I used for this (a Tiffen) boosts red/orange colors; greeens are pretty much left alone. There are other formulations of enhancers that will boost the cooler colors, but I do not have one of those (yet).

 

I appreciate your visit; I like your work. Regards.

Outstanding image, Walter. I really like the square format. This is about as good as it gets. I live near the PA/OHIO border and you've inspired me to want to visit these wonderful sites you've photographed in this area. What is it like in the spring time? Or is it best to wait for fall to come around?

Tom, thanks for the visit! Actually, Spring is kind of quite for the most part. There are exceptions, of course, especially if one visits some of the fine botanical gardens. Autumn has always been my favorite time of the year. Regards.

Amazing beautiful !

Fabulous image with lovely framing. The color of the water is quite appealing. Well done.

Superb! I love the natural colourful frame, the slight curve of the stream path and the bridge in the distance. It could not have been better. Wonderful!

Fabulous.  Learn.  Best Regards,

Great!
