"Autumn's Water Fall in Red"

"Autumn's Water Fall in Red"

Some time back, I visited Newstead Abbey in Notinghamshire. It is the former home of the writer Lord Byron. We had a nice family day out, walking around the grounds and into the designed gardens. I took this shot in the Japanese garden. I had to lay down on the muddy bridge to get this shot and several more like it, but it was worth getting dirty.

    Beautiful colours and perfect shutterspeed.

  • Bradley Shawn ... replied

    Thank you so much Hans. I just kept sooting till I got the right exposure, and then took loads with the settings. I am very pleased with how they turned out. I think there is one other from this set I want to download.

    Spectacular shot Shawn. Composition, colours, water movement, the lot!

  • Bradley Shawn ... replied

  • Johanne Brunet

    Johanne Brunet

    This is breathtaking Shawn! The image is so crisp and the colours vivid, yet it retains this smooth quality rendered by the slow shutter speed. Everything is in perfect balance, including the composition, and I really like the smoothness of the pon’d surface above the fall. It’s a fabulous shot and I can’t wait to see the others when you upload them. :-)

  • Garth Smith

    Garth Smith

    This is a brilliant pic, tonights the first time I have seen it. Tried to find a fault – can’t. Beautiful peaceful subject, perfect composition & framing, magic colour, great clarity. I especially like the depth of it, the multilevels of interest. the water in the creek , the falls, the square rock in the middle, the red foliage, but especially how the yellow patch of grass is framed by the 3 tree trunks. Its actually quite amazing that it doesnt look cluttered. And to top it all off – it just looks great , its a special shot – well worth incurring the wrath of “her indoors” for the dirty clothes.
    Whatever it has won – it was the right choice!!

  • Bradley Shawn ... replied

    So sorry- I did reply so long ago, but apparently I left a message rather than reply to you. Please forgive me as I have only just spotted this. Here is what I said:
