Hello Life Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Hello old friends!!
This has been the longest I've been away from TE and trust me it was not easy at all. I missed you all dearly. Life throws curve ball every now and then and we have to deal with it. Nothing tragic, my work life just got busier. It is still busy but I am forcing myself to do things I enjoy most. Sorry for this long explanation, now let me get back to the photo.
This was taken in Dansmuir, a small town on the valley of Mount Shasta. I took my wife there for our 15th anniversary and stayed on a cabin right by the rushing Sacramento river and we had an excellent view of Mount Shasta.
Enjoy!!

Hello Pranab,
A lovely capture of the stream!
Exposure time is just right to capture some sharp details in the water...
A fine composition with good dynamics, great colours & details!

Hello Pranab
Nice to hear you again and congratulations for you/your wife for the 15 th anniversary :)
The flow of the river is well captured with light/shade contrast, nice texture and fine colors. There is as well a sense of depth in your image... good choice of vertical framing too.
Cheers
Marilyn

Hi Pranab,
Nice to see you again. Your title to the photo is very philosophical, isn't it? It shows the way life is going and going...

Mount Shasta is looking great with the full blown river. The Focusing here near you is making it more beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Pranab.

The exposure gives us a very nice movement in the water. The light is good too, as also the vertical view.

Also it is remarkable how lively are the colours.

Well done.

Pranab da,

A nice capture of the pretty cool and calm atmosphere. Seeing this I can almost hear the only sound of water flowing. Nice capture. Your angle is nice, may be you have taken it from some rocks over the creek. Nice pov too.

regards
Sayan

Hi Pranab. At last, time and a good connection. Looks like we've both had extended absences from TE.
Lovely light in this shot of yours. The water has a lovely quality, flowing over the rocks. The slight blurring of the whiteness is a good contrast with the sharpness of the foliage. Nice perspective, too.
Regards,
Andrew

Beautiful nature. Fine colours. Good use of slow shutter.
