Bridal Veil Detail
Like Darren, I enjoy looking for detail shots in the streams I visit. Here is another attempt.

Canon 1D2
Canon 24-70 at 65mm
ISO-200
f/16 at 2 seconds

Ned,
I really am drawn to the swoop of water in the lower part of the frame. Looks like you nailed the exposure. I think this is excellent.

Great shot! Looks a little dark on my monitor.

Awesome comp and great texture in the water. Just the right amount of swirly watery stuff going on.

Thanks for the comments. I believe my small web jpeg is darkened more for a more appealing web appearance, (at least from my standpoint).

I would bet that this even better as a large print. I note that your aspect ratio is about 1.25 so 16x20 or even 20x24. In terms of sharpness there is still nothing to beat a wetroom negative/print but in terms of tone and actuance B/W digital printing is superior.
I think that CRT's and LCD's do an even poorer job of reproducing B/W than they do of color.

It's pretty cool...although you know how I feel about seeing so many water shots...but spring is here and I will be getting some of my own soon :)
Still...this is MUCH better than your last post :rolleyes:

A sweet one, Ned!

Indeed, a sweet one. Hard to believe that there still is some texture in the water at 2 seconds.

I like the arrangement. Well seen Ned.

Hey, thanks guys... the shutter was actually 2.5 seconds... more of a miracle? :biggrin:

Very nice shot Ned. Boy, that's slow at 2.5 secs; yeah, a miracle. Good going!
