Upstream of the falls

Deliciously cool colours, very peaceful.

Superb. Definitely worth framing.

Interesting colour tones and light. I assume you caught it just after sunset? Nice composition lines and just the right amount of angel hair water. Thanks for posting.

Yeah Wayne, good call. Just after sunset. I had to use the grad ND to keep the sky from blowing white though, given the lighting. I think a 75mm lens would have been perfect here, I felt my 90 was just a touch too tight.

Incidentally this is the colour version of a B&W negative I've spent some time on but never quite printed to my satisfaction; the first one I ever tried to print back at the loft a year and a half ago, in fact. I just printed it again with the intention of trying a bromoil with it.

Actually, I somewhat disagree with you about the lens choice. I recognize where you were standing and I think using the wider 75mm would have included too much of the right and left sides of the more open water. They would have been quite featureless and would have given you wider expanses of vaguely defined water. In my humble opinion, I feel that you captured the necessary emphasis/subject of the key rock shelf formation that is there at that location and your 90mm seems a perfect fit/crop for that capture.

Use of the Grad ND worked perfectly, especially considering that the fir trees in that part of the country are soooo dark anyway. Given it is Velvia, you should consider a digital print of this image (or Ciba print if you feel adventurous).

Good luck with the bromoil version !!

Yeah, I'm going to print it digitally. I guess you're right about the focal length; I was thinking about the tree-line and sky, but you're right - too much empty open water.

Sorry APUG; ciba just isn't in my immediate future, as much as I wish I could

Beautiful work, Walter! Gorgeous cool colours- natural but still very striking. Nicely composed for the foreground, giving lots of visual depth from front to back.

Beautiful, Walter. Nice touch with the water. I love it.
