Autumnal river (warning - creative alert!)

This is a dark peat-stained highland river, and its surface is covered in fallen birch leaves some of which are gently moving in the back eddy in a large pool. An exposure of 25 seconds was possible using a polarizer and the long exposure has emphasised the lovely swirl of colour. Luckily the wind stopped blowing so the rowans remained still long enough to be sharp.

1DMk3, 70-200, tripod, polarizer, ISO 100, 25 secs @ f32 and fingers crossed for the breeze to remain absent just a wee bit longer.

I'm not into this sort of photography yet John, but this has made me determined to have a bash ! Lovely image and well thought out.

Gorgeous! I would struggle to find a day when the wind didn't blow for 25seconds!

If those Rowans are sharp it's a proper wall hanger - very nice image :toast:

Love to see a large version, if those rowans are pin sharp it's a winner
