The Dora Baltea River in Val Veny.

Playing for a while with my new toy, the amazing B+W 110 filter, a

1000x ND filter capable of 10 stops of light reduction! And this, without

the slightest loss in terms of image quality!!!!!!

I took this picture yesterday afternoon in full daylight, but with the use of

that filter I was able to set an exposure time of 15" @f16. This is

actually a stitch of three vertical frames, and the uncommon contrast of

shadows and highlights is caused by fast moving clouds partially

obscuring the sun during the exposures.

The location is the Val Veny, a small wild valley at the feet of the Monte

Bianco massif in Valle d'Aosta, Italy. The Dora Baltea River has its

sources from one of the many glaciers of the Monte Bianco, the Miage

glacier.

Your c&c are highly appreciated, thanks for your time.
