Photographer’s Note

This photo was shot in Llangollen. It's is a beautiful town in Northeast Wales.
How to get this angle? Well... You can hire a helicopter or be at the right time at the right bridge like I was.
Actually I was just finishing my lunch in a restaurant that has a view to the river when I saw these guys arriving, one after another, and parking under the bridge. They were here waiting for others and this was the end of their journey down the river. I rushed a bit asking for the bill and made a quick payment at the counter still going back to the table to leave a tip for the waiter and went to the bridge to try a shot. And here it his.

Here are carema settings:
Exposure time: 1/800
F-stop: 3.5
ISO speed: 400
Focal length: 18.0000

Olá. Bom instantãneo desta formação de suicidas. Neste ambiente escuro de adrenalina o azul e vermelho das canoas ameniza a situação. Boa foto.

Olá David,

So, you captured a unique scene with splendidly contrasted boats on dark river water. White foams and their colors are very attractive with your view from top. Excellent idea, perfect clarity in very good sharpness. Have a nice week.

Parabéns e Abraço!

Les règles de circulation n'ont pas l'air simples ici! Belle scène colorée avec une touche d'humour bienvenue.
Amicalement

Ciao David,
excellent POV for this shiver photo. I am cold only to think about the temperature of the water! However the image is perfect with an excellent definition of the details. Compliments.
