Mighty Molly's

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 14, 2009592 views32 comments

Thought I'd stick with the "mighty" motif and a bit of alliteration for you English majors out there

Posting a quick one before I head out to Acadia National Park for a few days of shooting. We leave in a couple of hours so I'll be brief.

Vermont, pretty little stream, colorful leaves, light drizzle, last week

5dII, 17-40L, polarizer

Pretty little stream indeed. Beautiful work Kurt. I'm headed to the Catskills this week end, still should be a lot of color

The foreground swirls and the dynamic composition work very well here. Nice work.

Not too far from there Joe. As far as I can tell this pretty little brook doesn't have a name, at least one that I have found. It originates from Molly's Pond.

Daaaaaamn, thats nice!

I like the long exposure swirlies, but I can see a much shorter exposure w/ some handfuls of leaves tossed around being equally cool. Either way, you still have a winner.

Nice patterns in the water foam. Adds a nice movement to the stream.

Very impressive, Kurt! You took advantage of the even lighting. I like the
S shaped stream that leads me into the image, plus there are many good
diagonal lines, particularly with the FG rocks. It looks to me like you got
the right shutter speed for the stream. This image shows that a fall scenic
can be beautiful without having fall colors that are intensely vibrant. Well
done, Kurt, and keep up the good work.

An exquisite image Kurt. The flow of the stream across the frame, the color, light, everything is superb.

Beautiful scene and I absolutely love the inclusion of the swirling water. Very effective in making a great scene into an outstanding one.
