River Leaf Collection

[Guy24]

Hi,

Out yesterday attempting long exposure to capture moving water. this is the best of the bunch!!! Water seems grainy to me not sure why?

Any comments welcome.

Nice movement in the water. It might be my tired old eyes, but I was unable to detect any noise on the image in flicker. Not to sure about the composition, can't pin point why, it my be because of the big rock in front or the fact that my eye kinda jumps around the image, instead of being lead into the image. I feel that you might have 2 to 3 stronger images in just that one image

Re: River Leaf Collection

Agree with Tom - I can't see a noise issue

I would crop the large rock at the bottom and have the bottom from where the grass starts - I think that would make a stronger image

Re: River Leaf Collection

Have to agree with the guys above ,if possible I might have taken the shot a bit more to the left to show more of the cascades.the movement in the water looks spot on though mate.

Is it me or can I see a face in the foreground rock?

Re: River Leaf Collection

Possibly the "grain" you are seeing is just the water being insufficiently milky by a slightly too fast exposure. Have you an 8-stop ND filter? That'd slow the exposure markedly, although you will need an extremely steady hand, or more realistically, a decent tripod.

Not a shot for me as the rock in the foreground is just too prominent. And looks like a Cyberman's head. :-)
