"Spilling Out in B&W" by Bradley Shawn Rabon

This is another view of the spill way in black and white to heighten the details. As I stated before, out with my friend and fellow Redbubbler Jason Connolly photographing the Derwent reservoir in the Peak District of Deerbyshire, England, we spent quite a while photographing Derwent dam and the surrounding area. We also spotted this lovely out flow of water into the Derwent reservoir. This water comes from the Ashop river which flows through Snake Valley. A portion of the river was diverted to flow through the mountain to the other side through this water way tunnel and out into the Derwent. There is a dam in the Ashop, but it only stand 10 ft., but is still used to allow water to continue to flow into the reservoir, even though the river is allowed to also run into the Ladybower reservoir as well. The concrete table here creates this beautiful cascade of water. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/22 / Shutter speed: 5 seconds / ISO 125 Some post processing work done in Photoshop CS. I changed it to B&W and adjusted tone with green and red filters. I also decided to clean around the edges by cropping the image.
"Spilling Out" by Bradley Shawn Rabon

This photo is straight from the camera. As Is Whilst out with my friend and fellow Redbubbler Jason Connolly photographing the Derwent reservoir in Derbysire’s Peak District, England, we spent a lengthy time photographing Derwent dam and the surrounding area. We also spotted this lovely out flow of water into the Derwent reservoir. This water comes from the Ashop river which runs through Snake Valley. This stream is part of that river, making its way through the mountain from the river on the other side through this water way tunnel and then out into the Derwent. There is a dam 10 ft. dam on the river side which is still in partial use, although the river is allowed to continue on to the Ladybower reservoir as well. The concrete table here creates this beautiful cascade of water. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/22 / Shutter speed: 2.5 seconds / ISO 125

About This Group

Winner Of This Weeks Challenge
Mukesh Srivastava

This Group is devoted to the beauty of blur in images.
Sometimes blur is created by images in motion. For example, the blur is created by the panning of the camera to keep up with the motion of a car or train or bicycle flying past. Or the delicate flutter of the wings of a hummingbird or butterfly can create a blur of the wings, indicating motion. Sometimes the central subject of the image may be blurred or perhaps only the background is blurred with the main subject in sharp focus.
With all the wonderful software on the market such as Corel or Photoshop, sometimes the blur can be man-made. Soft vignetting around the outer edges of a portrait or even blur created by software plug-ins or filters can create lovely images.
The blur in an image often creates a stunning capture so the the beautiful blur is what this group is all about.
Everyone is free to join but any images that are submitted must have some blur as a part of its composition.Two Submissions Per Day, Per Person.
