Eastern Sierra Flow

[Jay Gould]

This is something very different from my usual stuff.

If I recall - this was captured in 2009 (I just bought my first DSLR) - I was having my first play with the Singh-Ray Vari-ND.

I am also starting to apply the stuff I am learning from the Sean Bagshaw workflow and luminosity videos.

I love flowing water images and I am playing with different ways to process them; also dipping my toe into BW processing.

Whatcha think?

I love the blur and abstract quality. It has a nice range of tones and a great dynamic feel. Whether you tinkered with the blue or that's the way it was, it works very well with the subject. It's also very nicely composed. In one sense, I wish there were just a bit more room at the top so those curves in the upper right weren't truncated. However, it might be a good thing because it gives a sense that the action takes place over a much wider field of view than we can see. I hope we get to see more of these.

Hi, Jay, welcome back to BPN! I don't remember you posting an image in OOTB before and if this is your first post a big welcome to OOTB I think it's a great blur - I love the sense of motion and the rich blues and browns. I hope we see more of them.

Hi Jay, long time no see! I love the motion of the water and the way it plays across the rocks below. This really conveys a sense of time to my eye. Nice one, hope to see you here more often.

I think this is great! Wonderful rushing flow and beautiful shades of blues. I really like that this has a feeling of texture to it that adds depth to the image.
