River's steady flow Photo

Photographer’s Note

This river is located near the small town of Salinas, between the (very small) settled area and the old salt mines that give the area its name.

Salinas is mostly known nowadays for its variety of microbusinesses, which range from chocolate and cheesemaking, to thread spinning and textile production. The area has received a great deal of support from international organizations, especially from Italy (where many products are exported), and has seen a great deal of success despite its extremely isolated highland location.

All of that, of course, has very little to do with this little river! Not having a tripod, I balanced my camera on one of the round posts supporting the bridge that crosses over the water.

Very beautiful and interesting colors and perspective! The movement of the water in this picture is just perfect! Good job!

Nice shot Adam;

This shot reminds of my recent shots from Canada. Similar shape of the creek, also a long exposure to get the smokey water effect.
Good amount of detail throughout the image thanks to the high f/stop.

Nice one Adam,

I liked the composition of this photo.
The colours are very good too, and the blur water is interesting.
Good DOF, POV and sharpness.
well done.

Hi Adam,
Greatly captured and well composed. It seems the picture is slightly tilted to left, doesn't it? Sharp. Nice natural colors. Excellent shot, especially without tripod for this long exposure.
