    Default LeHardy Rapids at 1/4 Second

    Denise and I fell in love with LeHardy Rapids in Yellowstone; we spent three of our four afternoons there. There were dippers and Common Mergansers and lots of fast flowing water--the latter ideal for blurs. As here.

    This image was created with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens with the 1.4X II TC and the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 50. Evaluative metering +1/3 stop: 1/4 sec. at f/29. 77mm polarizer set to dark.

    Don't be shy; all comments welcome.

    Hi Artie, this is a really nice spot and I love this capture of it. The blur is just enough to convey the sense of speed and motion. I like how the slight hint of color in the foreground contrasts with the overall duo-tone look of the image. Really low shutter speed but it makes sense with the polarizer and f-stop! All this image needs is audio... :cool: You don't know how much I wish I could be there with you.

    Captured a beautiful mood here … the blur, soft light and the almost mono chromatic look. Very appealing.

    Thanks all. As soon as I can get NIK Silver Efex downloaded I will post a true B&W version of this one. News flash: we had a killer great morning at Oxbow Bend today with golden light, perfect reflections, and clouds above the Tetons.

    Artie, You did great with the B&W blurs of the water. The bottom strip is a nice touch. I am looking forward to your Silver Efex version.

    Hi Arthur,

    I am a sucker for waterfalls and rivers. I can spend an entire day shooting flowing rivers like this. The time just seems to fly by. So I would have to say that this one is perfect. Sometimes I go into Viveza 2 and drop a control point on the steel-gray waters and adjust the warmth slider to add a hint of blue to the water. Looking forward to seeing the B&W version also.

    Hi Arthur,

    I think the B&W has a touch more impact. Very nice!
