Allondon river Source Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is one of my first attempts of taking water photos with pod. This is at the source of the Allondon river, a very nice river, which goes to the Rhone, joining it on the Swiss area, just before entering in France.

I love taking photographs of water, still or moving and I'm sure you will get a lot of enjoyment from experimenting in this area. For me this one has worked quite well but is covering too wide an angle. As a result it is difficult to find a point to focus on.
I have posted a W/S to explain more clearly what I mean.

I think this is a great first try Gael. I think the big stone and the movemnt of teh water helps us find the focus point. Should you decide to crop it you can try to do it at the top. Not to much though since i atleast liek to see where the water is coming from. The WS showes it well i think. I defenatly think you should keep it up.

Very good. The mossy rocks are also good. If I had to comment on anything, I would say that the central bright area of water is a little too bright and therefore attracts more attention than it deserves (the rocks are very nice, I think they should be the centre of attention). If you wanted to do some post procesing, you could try to darken the bright patch of water.

Pas évident de trouver un bon effet de flou en conditions très lumineuses, mais tu t'en sors bien sur ce coup-ci. J'imagine qu'en pahse de test, il y a dû avoir beaucoup de déchets ;-)

Est-ce que l'A70 est limité à seulement f/8 ? Parce que dans ce cas, il serait intéressant de fermer un peu plus le diaphragme, tout en ralongeant le temps de pose...
