I like the comp, the SS is too slow for me, I think the steam would be more effective frozen with a fast shutter speed.

Hi Dvir - It would be interesting to see images at a few different ss and compare. For me, the ridgeline is a bit too central in the frame.

TFS,
Rachel

Hi Dvir.. Think I have to agree with Dan & Rachel here.. The image does not show the explosive dynamics of a geyser in action because the shutter has averaged out all the events over time..

A nice idea bit the steam gets pretty lost in the sky. Would be interesting to shoot this with the sky darker and some light painting on the steam.

Nice location - where is it located, Dvir?
I would also like to see one with slower SS, and with more FG (which is more interesting than the sky).

Hi Dvir...I like where you were going with this one but do agree on more foreground and less sky...the foreground elements are very interesting...did you create any alternate comps with more foreground in them?
