Hello all,

Despite the rain, the Portland Japanese Gardens still has the control over its waterfalls. This was running higher than usual, and the nice orange foliage looked like a good time to try out the 100 mm macro in a more traditional lens use. I also tested the optics by using extreme f-stops and whatnot.

Tell me what you think. I don't think I've ever gotten this angle before.

Techs:

Canon 5D
100 mm macro lens
f/22?
2-3 sec
tripod
no filters

This is a well balanced comp, but a little dark overall.

I like it! Especially the overhanging branches. Personally I do wish I could see a little bit more of that creek though.

I think you did real well on the comp. I might want it just a tad brighter as well.

Thanks all! I didn't do one step to brighten things up, I wasn't sure if it needed it. I'll consider it.
