Summer Stream

Taken back in July in the Pisgah. I liked the small cascade but wished the rhodies were more prominent - but oh well. What do you think?

Thanks!

Wade

I like it a lot. The rhodies add a nice touch. I like all the elements...the foreground rock, the cascade, the mossy rocks and the trees in the background.

Very pretty and clear scene. I also like the V shape the trees in the background make.

Wonderfully composed and processed scene. All of the elements come together beautifully here.

I think I like it a lot!! Nicely done Wade

Very nice Wade. Excellent throughout.

wow that is awesome!

Can I ask what settings you used to make it pop. Did you use a filter? sorry, i am new to photography. And would love to learn to shoot like that. I know using a longer shutter speed and a tripod is the key. thanks..

Hi Joey and thanks for the comment. I looked up the info for this shot.

f/16 aperture, 4 second shutter, iso 100, 18mm focal length, polarizer, tripod, soft step graduated neutral density filter pulled down just slightly over the trees.

Good luck with your photography.

Wade

I don't mean to sound stupid, just new to photography. I understand about the polarizer, I got one on my wide lens and understand how it will help espeically with water shots. But what is "soft step graduated neutral density filter pulled down just slightly over the trees". Is this something you did in PS? Did you use a remote? I have read some posts where people only shoot landscapes with a remote.

Superb
