yes very unique..

[minniev]

it has a magic Paula, I think it worked pretty good.

I had never even made an attempt at blurring that water before. Someone asked me why not, and I didn't have an answer.

yes very unique..

It looks different without the power of the water.

This week's theme is slow exposure. So the day our snowmageddon started, before the roads were closed, I went to the dam to see what was happening and tried to see how slow I could go handheld with my heaviest lens. My tripod is broken, and they don't do any good at the dam anyway. I learned that I could get as slow as 1/4 second with the 50-200 fully extended. It was enough to smooth out the water some. I can't see any advantage to smooth it completely though.

I do like this, but am continually distracted by the foreground water. If it were mine... which I assuredly know it isn’t... I’d crop that foreground water a-l-m-o-s-t to the waterline with th heron’s pier. For me that makes it a far more coherent composition and more comfortable (for me) to view.

I think Dave as a good idea..

I tried your suggestion and like it! Thanks.

Yup.

This week's theme is Bottles. I have interesting old bottles at the country house but not here at home, and have been snowbound for a week. All I could find was bottled water and my favorite "Ice" drinks. I settled for the latter.

This morning I did find my grandfather's old whiskey bottle so I'm gonna play with that and see what it may yield. But for now, here's the "Ice".

[Psjunkie]

cool..!

[minniev]

cool..!

Thanks.
