Thought id go a bit “Old School” with no HDR, Just some Gradual filters to drag the shutter. Oh,,,,and just one extra layer to add the sun rays.

Hi Ben! Thank you again for the opportunity you are giving me…the moment i saw the picture….the decending caught my eyes readily…it’s the one giving life to the spring….so I thought of “The Spring of Life”… then again I thought of the creation of God when he said “Let there be Light” then there was light…….or this can be a classic picture of “The Living Waters”… or could this be the “The Hidden Spring” ?……or “The Gift of Light” to Mother Nature…….Man…it draws a lot of idea the longer you stare at the picture…
Now that is a big ask….i did mine in the early mornings or around sunset when light not so bright…
Thats what im told, but…..since I have to go around the family’s schedule (Shoot before going to the Casino….) just had to make do! LOL! At least the Wifey won $80.

Lovely image Ben…..I see you also used a ND filter to allow longer exposures and worked a treat!

beautiful work Ben – this is such a different side of you!
I guess it is in a way. I figured id put the Cokin filters to better use (Instead of Time Lapse) and at the same time practice with my long exposures.
