Water curtain Photo

Photographer’s Note

In the beautiful are around the Krya Springs in Livadia you can see some beautiful buildings, signs of an early "industrial" era in Greece -there was no "late" industrial era in Greece since then :-))), old factories, storehouses, watermills that took once upon a time advantage of the power of water running in the river crossing the town.

Here you can see an old watermill, that nowadays is a beautiful cafe-restaurant.

ABOUT THE PHOTO
Lowered manually the ISO to 50, used a small aperture (f/22), a circular polarizer, an ND-4 (2-stop down) filter and a tripod for a slow shutter speed. In WORKSHOP, a diferent take with faster shutter speed.

Hello Hercules,
the effect of the waterfall is very beautiful, the fact that you have used a very long time made the photo very special. Very beautiful the colors and sharp.
Excellent work dear friend.
A beloved greeting.

Hi Hercules
An excellent shot that is well composed with the waterfall on a diagonal. The slow shutter speed is a nice effect here especially since it is a fairly gentle waterfall.

Hello Hercules,
It is a great idea to turn the old watermill into a beautiful cafe-restaurant. You reflected the flowing of the water very well,
Best regards,

looking the fountain and the water effect, it's great, i like the result and the colours,
but looking around, i see some grass with unnatural green and some redish tones a bit exagerated
mixed feelings about this one, but the final impression is good thanks to the water effect

Hi Hercules
Wonderful pictures with great colours and details.
I like so much the slow motion of the water and the effect of the time exposure
Magnificent photojob
Greetings my friend

burGu (4548) 2009-01-05 13:31

i love effect of long exposure on water flow, and this is one of the bests imo. although i think colors are oversaturated, mosses covering the rocks and dead leaves still look so real that i can touch them... i can even get wet by the water curtain...
congrats irakli,
burcu

Hi Hercules,
a remarkable tranparant curtain due to the log aperture time.
Beautiful colors allover.

Kalispera Hercules.

Creo que todo el mundo puede poner una cámara encima de un trípode y usar una exposición lenta. Pero tú haces algo más: la luz o la exposición es en toda la foto magnífica. No queda un solo rincon de la foto con un solo fallo en su exposición.

Además, hay que saber ver las fotos antes de hacerlas.

Ti kaneis? ¿Cómo va todo por Grecia? ¿Está el ambiente más calmado? Ya no llegan noticias de Grecia a excepción de un policia al que dispararon en la calle.

Ta leme, file mou.

LamCam (3603) 2009-01-08 13:29

Hello Hercules,
This is a fascinating shot, with remarkable detail. There is an effect of another landscape in the panels behind the falling water.
Best wishes for a very Happy New Year....Maggie

Fantastic work you did here. The softness of the waterfall at the diagonal is great and the colors just so warm. Very very nice.
