    Beautiful shot! Always wanted to do something like this.

    The difficult part of doing these kinds of shots is getting the focus right due to the lack of detail during nightime.

    I think in such case DOF calculator would be helpful. Accordingly to the calculator, the parameters you used and the distance to the closest rocks in foreground 30 feet away the DOF is 4.7 ft - Infinity. So my point is it is not required to focus it at all, but  just set the distance approximately using the lens scale. Moreover I think you could keep the apperture more opened and thus decrease ISO or exposure time and have enough DOF.

    Would be nice to hear feedback from people who have practical expirience

  1. Although the composition looks balanced and 1/3-ed (not perfect though) I have feeling that I'd like to see more of the creek on the bottom. The bottom line of the frame hides more intersting details. The details of the roks and water are so interesting and perfectly processed.

  2. I have tried 50/50 with the zoom (in fact it was displyed before), but did not like it as much as the current variant. The reason: I like in the current variant the gradual transition and deep dark blue and cold tones of the winter early morning and the perfect water surface.

    In fact I have tried to zoom these trees many times but was always not happy. I think someone else should try. I know there are good photographers in the area. I have left a chance for them :)

    Such simple!

    Janine, you certainly know magic. I think, a lot of photographers envy you and would like to find out your secret :)

  3. Bravo! The best!

    I know that it is nearly impossible to catch it. During the fight they are flying on such speed that they are almost could not be seen. I tried to shoot but gave up. Even video cannot help. Walter, you must know a secret how to do it or extremely lucky?
