Lily Pads in the Marsh II

Taken with a full frame Kodak SLRn and Nikon 14mm f2.8.

Approximately at f11 and 1/45 second. I had to climb over the side of a

small bridge and perch myself on the timber frame while bending down

and holding the camera about 3 inches off the water. I framed the

images by guessing and shot many frames while bracketing for the

exposure.

 

 

There is no way I could have captured this particular scene on my 4x5

and even 35mm film would have wasted a lot of film. This is when the

digital age truly pays off. Let me know what you think.

I like the composition, but the bright afternoon sunlight is a bit unflattering, some early day or late afternoon side-lighting might have improved the texture and overall look of this shot.
