Kaslo - The River 2

A closer view of the previous upload.

Flat light - go back in the morning or evening.

I like it--natural and realistic. I like the pink versus blue and gray rocks/water.

Definitely prefer this shot the best of the two you posted, this one has more "punch" or impact. Nice definition in the foreground (good use of hyperfocal) and I like the silkyness of the river as it's curve carries my eyes through the image where the stand of trees in the background stops me from leaving the image.

Thankyou all for your comments. This was shot in late afternoon in late August. As it is surrounded by large hills, shooting later in the day would have made the light even less attractive. I liked the partially cloudy conditions because they reduced glare on the water and brought out the white birch against the fir trees. I'm afraid the 1000 mile trip is just a bit too far to go for the early morning reshoot.

Hanna,

 

well done. Do you remember how long you exposed this picture?

 

Best regards

Franz

I'm afraid I'm too lazy to record those details, but my guess would be that it was about 6 seconds. Thanks for stopping by.
