THE SILENT OBSERVERS Photo

Photographer’s Note

Over eons of time, the different peoples have come and gone, from the first people who arrived from some distant shore across these very waters, from whom thousands of generations were to be born, and pass away, to the arrival of the European invaders and all the change and mayhem they brought. And through all the change these rocks remain unshaken, unmoved, as rocks will do, having born witness to the different peoples who came across the waters that sometimes lap, sometimes pound upon their sides....and it is only the water that will change their shape, mould their form, as they watch silently the fleeting existence of humanity.

I always love the murky shutter effect of the water in pictures. makes me feel like we're walking on clouds.
Nice fluffy waters! Good exposure and lighting to set a nice mood.
Good one.

Hi Jez, I can see here that you have discovered a time exposure that creates an illusion of suspending time as seen in this photo. Almost like mist rising from below the surface of the earth, and opening a portal for those who wish to pass through time into another era. Hmm I think I better stay down to earth and keep my head screwed on right. Nice shot Jez!

bonjour Jez,

très intéressante prise de vue. Belle pose longue pour un effet cotonneux. Cela manque cependant un peu de profondeur d'horizon.

a ghostly image but really well crafted. the smooth waves that look like clouds becasue of the long exposure is good.
