PHOTO FOR JANUARY 2012
How I did it -
COMMENTS:
This picture was taken in the spring along a
beautiful scenic road in Northern California called "Yankee Jim
Road". In Aperature Priority, I used a 1/2-second exposure to
soften the water and a Neutral Density filter to avoid blowing the image
out. In Photoshop Elements, used the Dogde feature to lighten up the
darker areas, then applied the Topaz Adjust filter to bring out some of
the details, giving it those lovely lines along the rocks and in the
flowing water.

I always enjoy water
looking WHITE while some people would claim this not a true photo
but then again each to his/her own views of society and such well
done.as

The time control for the "silky" effect of the
water flow is very good. I prefer more white water flow at the lower
part of the picture, so the "silky" effect will be
stronger.

This is a beautiful
image of flowing water. The swirls within the water make the
image, as well as the even tone of the lighting.

Very nice image, very natural with good
lighting. Good use of the shutter to get a pleasing effect in the
water. I like the composition and the way that the water runs out of
the bottom of the image. I would however crop off some of the top
greenery to concentrate the attention on the water
itself.

I love the silky effect on the
water, it’s one of my favorite types of photographs and has inspired
me to get out there and try it. The overall color lends nicely
to the mood of the scene. Great job
!
