My attempt to do more with less...(ie preparing for retirement..!!)... This is from the same river as the previous two posts, and i went there specifically looking for minimalist compositions that might appeal. As always, feel free to speak you mind on my work.. It doesn't hurt..
1D4 & 70 to 200 F 2.8 at 160mm
0.3 sec at f32, ISO 100. again F32 i would avoid usually but shutter speed was everything.
processed in CS6 using ACR and then a B&W layer. Small adjustments using an exposure layer and a Slight vignette added (sorry Luis..) Its full frame.
Don, I LOVE this. I think this one is very well balanced. The flow is unusual (from right to left), but I think that's what gives the image the dynamics. I do like the B&W take here. Contrast looks good to me. I am not bothered by the f32 at all as loss of sharpness from diffraction is really a non issue here.
Thanks for sharing this one.
PS: Is this the B&W that we have been waiting for or is there more?
This is almost the image I had in mind when i went to this spot, but there are others that I might post also.. I think I have gone a bit early to this location, we have not had enough rain yet and the river speed is low, so the water flowing over the rocks is not producing the depth of curve I was looking for.
