Bridge over the River Provo Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a foot bridge over the Provo River, not far from the Motion Picture Studio (not related to the River Kwai).

I didn't have a ND filter to slow the water down (one of the downfalls of the D70...ISO 200), but I kind of like the effect as it is. The day was overcast with a large storm blowing in. The late morning light was kind of diffused. Maded for 'soft' light. I metered the 'white' water at the bottom and tried to put it at zone 7 while still holding some of the dark detail.

Hola Robert.
I haven't seen you for so long...wow.
This is a beautiful picture, very well captured, the colors contrasts and sharpness are superb. I like the effect of the waterfall. The water effect, the wood bridge and the wood in the left with the colors of the leafs give you an excellent composition.
Very well done.

Another nice shot Robert; again, wonderfully sharp and, you know, it's not mandatory to use a lengthy exposure on water shots! Tempting though it always is :)
