Good morning Stephen!
This picture has a lot of dynamics and wonderful natural colours. One nearly can hear the water plashing. I like it - and the excellent note - very much!
Greetings from humid and cool Germany - and have a wonderful and an a bit contemplative Advent season!
Frank
Hello Stephen,
Perfect exposure for this fine composition of rushing waters. I like the point of view with the angular turn of the stream well positioned in the frame. Very good natural colours under a lovely light. Good work. Best wishes to your and your family for Christmas and the New Year.
Bonjour Stephen
Très belle image de cette eau qui court à travers les roches.Très bon paramétrage de la vitesse et l'effet obtenu est réussi.
Bonne journée.
Cordialement

Hi,
My favourite peaty colours in full flow. A couple of bright spots but you have a good flow through the frame and detail on the rocks. Thanks.
Dougie.

Hi Stephen,
Nice one, here the close framing focuses more on the strong water movement as opposed to the fix rock than on the sikly rendering you could have got with a larger framing, it's different in impression but very dynamic and refreshing, even though I'm not sure I need the latter... ;-)
Ooops j'ai ecrit en anglais, desole !
Bonne fin de semaine,
JEan-Yves
These blurry waterfall shots can often be much too smooth and blurry for my taste, with the mushy water losing all touch with reality. I think you struck a good balance here though - there's a good sense of movement, and your framing works well too.
Bit of a shame about the branches at top right - maybe you could have got someone to hold them out of the way.
Good work though Stephen - I like it.
Cheers,
Ben
Hi Stephen,
Tight composition works well as it accentuates the strong flow of water. Technically flawless and I don't find the branches distracting. Now if only there were a few red/yellow leaves lying around. Best wishes,
Hakan
Hello Dear Stephen,
This is a very dramatic photograph of the rushing waters of the River Creed. The slow shutter speed accentuates the volume of the water flow. Thee branches in the upper right are critical to the composition, presenting sharp resolution as a counterpoint to the blurred water.
Thank you for the Season's Greetings. I would, in turn, like to wish you and your family a happy and prosperous Holiday Season.
Bulent
hi stephen,
lovely crop on this small waterfall, your daring composition and your judicious speed contributes to a pleasant final result.
Best wishes
didier
Hello Stephen,
I find your image very nice, I like the streaming of the river together with the two small waterfalls.
Also the details on the big stones give a nice image, excellent composition and pleasant for look it.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice weekend you and Janice,
John.
Bonjour Stephen,
L'effet produit par l'eau cheminant sur ces roches est saisissant et s'oppose particulièrement bien à leurs couleurs sombres et à leurs textures le tout dans une très belle lumière faisant ressortir couleurs et détails.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
Hello Stephen
Ce courant est bien saisi pour nous donner une bonne idée de la vitesse de l'eau. Une très bonne gestion de l'exposition et une très bonne netteté sur le reste de la photo.
Du très bon travail!!
Je te souhaites de bonne fêtes de fin d'année.
Amicalement

Hello Stephen,
A few autumn leaves on the rocks tell the story of the season!
A simple composition with good dynamics, fine diagonal movement...
Greetings,
Pablo -
Hi Stephen,
Very nice to see you more often here.
1/10 sec.s created almost a long exposed photo, i like the silky texture of the flowing water. The brown leaf at the right bottom adds color :)
Cheers,
Deniz
Hi Stephen,
Well composed and perfect effect with this this timing, interesting and beautiful result.
lovely shot Stephen,
I like the pov , the speed of the water in a freesing image, the little details as the red flower on the rock, very nice photojob here, have a fine sunday.
gr. jaap
Hi Stephen
This is a great photo!Very nice image and wonderful colours...
Excellent work.
TFS/Regards
Hi Stephen, the motion effect of the water works very nice, it is ideal here.
The light balance is also very good and the fine colors are very good to see.
Marry Christmas to you and be healthy.
Evangelos
Hi Stephen
Nice to see that you still post a picture now and then:)
Very nice picture and as always a good note from you.
I wish you a good Christmas and new year as well.
Harry
hi stephen,
a gorgoeus shot i must say. i see the long exposure effect worked well here. the branches don't bother me, infact i see it so naturally a part of this capture.
i wished you happy holidays as well and as what Plimrn has always mentioned HLJ to you and everyone on TE.
maligayang pasko at masaganang bagong taon!

Hi Stephen
Nice capture of the stream. I like the effect of flowing water and colours.
Hmm, is this your last post this year? There is three weeks until the end of the year...
Regards
Hello my friend Stephen,
i like this 'sedate' shot it's interesting one, of course not as tremendous as the previous.Some parts of the River's water are brown and this is not a usual phenomenon.Yow pause the flow of the river very successfully,not absolutely,and this is a good idea i think and give more dynamic in the scene.The point of view including the angular turn,create depth and perspective.Informative your note too.
Have a nice week,Danos
PS thank you for your wishes about the Christmas and the new year.I wish you too.
Bonjour, Stephen. La pose relativement longue renforce l'impression de vitesse du courant. Les rochers encadrent bien le courant et le mettent en valeur. Je me demande si je n'aurais pas cadré un peu plus large, sans savoir évidemment ce qu'on découvre en faisant cela... Je profite de ce commentaire pour te souhaiter également d'excellentes fêtes de fin d'année.
Hello Stephen
This is a very nice photograph
Well composed and perfect effect with good dynamics
TFS

Bonsoir Cher Stephen
Il ne manque plus que le son pour écouter le bruit de l'eau.
Intéressante prise de vue à faible temps de pause, cela donne un bel effet de mouvement.
J'apprécie beaucoup.
Je vous souhaite de passer d'excellente fêtes.
Cordialement.
hello Stephen
the good focus, and a perfect exposure to give life at the water.
a excelent exercice you successed here !
have a nice evening Stephen

Hello Stephen. I have to say everytime I see a water photo I take notice of the shutter speed, and recall what the water effect looks like. I have taken some photos between 1/10 of a second right up to 1/2 of a second which creates an interesting feeling of flow. Excellent results here with this one and the longer exposure in the workshop. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Stephen,
very good shot, nice view on the river, unusual colours of water. Well composed image. I like it a lot. Good work.
Gr., Aleksander
Hello there Stephen.
Very nice Christmas shot, the rushing water so close to the camera, and so well captured. I like the two little waterfalls facing in different directions, and the brown colouring which you have explained. One half expects a salmon to jump out of the water while looking at it. Teriffic capture with a nice light falling on the scene.
Hope you enjoy Christmas and the New Year!
Regards,
Andrew
Hello Stephen,
a wild and owndeful stream, complimented well by the pem extract. I like your composition as the water moves through the frame in zigzag.
All the best for Chrsitmas and New Year.
Bev
- Superb composition, you succeeded in restoring the speed of water and perhaps you wanted further to increase the duration of the exposure but you did not have a filter, it's better thus, you would have had fuzzy water but less this impression of speed, impeccable like-that, bravo!
giorgio
* Yes, you understood well, Steph' this lantern obstructed me but I was at the edge of a terrace and I could not advance more for a better PoV.
- Si je n'ai pas l'occasion de te recontacter d'ici là, termine bien cette année toi aussi.
Hello, Stephen,
I like this shot. The water actually looks like water and the details of the rocks are excellent. I love the tiny bits of odd color here and there on them. I think the branches add a really nice touch, actually. Very well done!! Thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Hi Stephen,
The slow exposure worked well here creating a dynamic water. Good clarity of details ... I like the way the moss added color to the stones. Wonderfully captured and composed. Well done! tfs

Bonne journée.

Bonsoir Stephen,
Comme le dit notre ami Didi, il ne nous manque plus que le chant de l'eau pour accompagner l'image. Très jolie photo sur ces cascades, j'aime beaucoup le filé de l'eau. J'avoue préférer cette photo à ton WS. Belle qualités d'image, j'apprécie la netteté de l'image. Un moment plein de poésie, merci Stephen.
Et je me permets à mon tour de te souhaiter d'excellentes fêtes de fin d'année.
Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,
Jean-Charles

Bonjour Stephen ,
C'est une image trés agréable et rafraîchissante qui est proposée ici. (Elle m'a donné la curiosité de visiter sur Internet cette ile écossaise , qui semble si attirante ). La réalisation me plait bien , ainsi que les essais avec différentes vitesses d'exposition.
Joyeuses fêtes à vous également !
François.
NB. La prochaine fois , j'écrirai en anglais , et ce sera à mon tour de faire un exercice ! ;-))
Bonsoir Stephen,
J'aime bien cet effet d'eau en mouvement, tu as bien choisi une vitesse lente pour ne pas figer le mouvement.
Bonne soirée
Christian
Hi Stephen,
I've just finished to taste a cappuccino and have to say that the color of water with the foam downside, reminds me exactly this superb drink (:D. Spectacular close-up capture with well chosen timing. I also don't like the exaggerated long exposures and the heavy and unnatural silky effects of the water obtained that way. Very good one, my friend! I wish you and your Family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Attila
p.s. now I put, my cup right under the monitor (:D
Hi Stephen, A wonderful scene as the water races down the river, the movement created by the photo is excellent, the power is very clear, superb light & great exposure, TFS, kind regards Wilson.
Hi Stephen!
Beautiful shot, very simple but great, with a nice pov and a wonderful exposure - the water creates a very beautiful effect.
Have a Merry Christmas with all the best!
"Thanks for noticing it was my 200th Portuguese post, I really hadn't noticed that:))

hi Stephen,
a nice effect for this rushing water,created by your exposure,..it would be interesting,to see some trouts there;)
hope the next year to bring you the most beautiful moments!all the best for the Christmas and New year!
thanks,
Flori;)
Bonjour Stephen,
c'est une photo toute simple, sans autre prétention que de vouloir nous asseoir à côté de ce ruisseau tumultueux et profiter de son chant ainsi que de la beauté de la nature.
Bien cadrée et prise avec de très bons paramètres.
regards.
Daniel.
Olá Stephen!
Lindíssima foto...lindo lugar e lindas cores. Ótima textura, meus parabéns!!!
E para você também um maravilhoso 2008!

Stephen bonjour.
J'aime le rendu de cette rivière dû à la composition en "Z" qui la dynamise bien. La vitesse lente de l'exposition donne ce flou de l'eau vive qui, ici, est du meilleur effet.
Jacques
I like both this one and the WS. Even with 1/10 second you have shown the fast movement of the water. I like the way you have taken it diagonally. The rocks are nice and sharp too. Well done
Happy Christmas to you too, although it feels early to me yet.;D
Kath
Hi, Stephen.
A great job here, the perfect match of f/stop and aperture to get such a stunning result. The way you composed the scene was really good.
[]'s and happy holidays, pal!

Bonjour, mon ami Andrew,
Très jolie prise de vue de ce torrent, les effets de l'eau sont remarquables. Une excellente prise de vue (ainsi que celle publiée en atelier).
Merci pour tes bons voeux. Tu as de la chance de posséder une maison en Poitou-Charente, c'est une magnifique région.
Amitiés.
Philippe
Hi Stephen,
The water really runs through this picture, excellent shot. Great details and colors. TFS and best wishes
Wolf
Hi Stephen
I must say that I prefer the one second picture.I like how the water looks like a curtain, all smoothness.The composition is dynamic,with a diagonal line of the water.
The details of the rocks are sharp with good colors,thanks to the tripod.
I have been, and still is playing at the rapids here, mostly at sunrise and sunset.Qute cold temperature.Now snow has arrived and I get different scenery as the ice and the snow accumulates.These rapids never freeze over.I am waiting for a very cold morning,like -30c,as there will be a lot of water evaporation at this place,will be different.
I will post them eventually, when I found time.
Have a good WE
Charles
Hi Stephen,a lovely well composed shot.The brown water really makes this shot special,I like your timing on this one.
Everything is sharp, all the details on the rocks show so clearly.
May I wish you a very Happy Christmas, and I look forward to seeing your shots in 2008.
Best wishes Jean.
Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year Dear Stephen. And thanks for sharing this excellent capture of cool water.
Just had a thought to you my friend Stephen, and this picture makes me also thing that this river should be one of those offering an ingredient to the famous scotch whiskies I tasted this Cristmas.
I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy new year, to you and your family.
Jean Michel
Hi Stephen
Dynamic and well composed photo. I like the colors too and your
note is very nice. I wish you a happy new year.
Quentin
Hi Stephen,

Hello Stephen,
Interesting how a simple image can have such an impact in our minds. The texture of the water and the good light definitely give life to this picture. The water running down and the rocks emphasize the beauty of nature no matter how big or small it may be. Thanks Stephen :-)
Roberto
Hi Stephan
,Long time , i ve not even give an critique, Had no time and no internet connection while i was in Russia
Very good exposure and result here
;TFS/Kind regadrs
Hi Stephen,
hope you and yours are well.
Simple, intimate, and beautiful view .. I love how you have kept control of the water in the exposure .. and kept all the branches crisp and not blowing in the wind .. a very nice meditative beauty.
take care,
John
Nice close viewpoint Stephen, great effect with the shutter speed to blur the water but not too much. Wonderful sharpness to show the textures of the rocks.
cheers
Leon
