Leaving Summer Behind

Any constructive comments are welcome. Thanks.

This is lovely, Hannah. I would like to see just a little more detail in the leaves which would entail taking from a slightly higher angle. However, this angle works for me also.

Beautiful! This effect of turning water to silk is very appealing to me. I've been thinking of taking my camera down to the beach and trying this technique. You seem to have it mastered! After looking at this pic for some time, I realized I would like to see more streaks of orange and yellow... maybe in another picture,eh? Still, this is a beautiful picture --- nice balance of light & dark. You've done a good job at communicating a "mood".

I must try this effect sometime. Of course, down here in Texas, I don't see those brilliant colors in the leaves! Nice capture!

MiniMe, Richard, and Kim, thanks for commenting. I've returned here several times under various conditions and using ever longer exposures, but I think I'm far from having it mastered when I see some of the water scenes on PN. This stream is under low overhanging trees so I spent some time crawling under and over branches and sitting on soggy banks. Next attempt will be the snow stream, if we ever get any snow.

Looks wonderful. The large cluster of leaves in the middle and left makes the frame come alive. Sometimes it's tough to decide how much water and how much of the leaves to include, but you have the right balance.

Hanna, I think you've got the exposure just about right. What time of day did you end up shooting this? Great colors to accentuate the water flow.

Hi, Hanna this is a beautiful shot. Very good colours.

Robert, I guess it must have been about 4:00 pm with bright overcast conditions and fairly dense growth around it. I've realized I have to shoot in full manual with the smallest aperture to get a long enough exposure at this time of day. Thanks for having a look.

I see you've been down to the creek again Hanna. This is a lovely result!

Hi John, thanks for stopping. This is a different stream and much tamer than the one I first attempted. That is raging right now after record rains. I'll have to get my hip waders out and try it again soon.

Glad I didn't see this until now, I might have been accused of copying! ;-)Nice shot, yours has got more going for it than mine. :-(

Pretty shot. I think your capture of it is excellent.

Hi, I find this type of shot dificult to master, it looks great in the veiwfinder but when i get the slides back well lets just say mine don't look as good as this. A very good shot with good exposure and composition. Well done. Jim.
