    All those curves and smooth water – contrasted with the lines of the sticks. Compelling image Tony!

  • Tony Middleton replied

    Thanks Rosalie – preceeding ventures to the spot ove rthe years have yielded unsatisfactory water flows and this time the water was right but I was not sure about the fallen logs – glad you like them.

  • Peter Hill

    Peter Hill

    Excellent work, Tony! Just perfect. I like the continuing detail of the green moss into the background. The light and crispness is spot on. Everything is. Faultless.

  • Enivea

    Enivea

    Your patience was rewarded, and we reap the benefits! I’m undecided about the logs…perhaps it’s the ‘less than perfect’ detail that Japanese master designers strive for…..

  • Tony Middleton replied

    thanks Enivea – sometimes I think my brain must be so completely full of locations and scenes all over Australia and what conditions and time of the year I would like to be there again. It’s satisfying when the planning comes off and I am fortunate enough to be there and experience them. :)

  • Liane Pinel

    Liane Pinel

    Wow! Stunning…can you tip the newbie on how to get that softness to the flow?

  • Tony Middleton replied

    Hi Liane – thanks for your comment, glad you like it so much. To soften the water you need to use a tripod and slow your shutter speed right down, anything below 1/15sec and you will start to see the effect – hope this helps and happy shooting ! :)

  • Michael Howard

  • Tony Middleton replied

    thanks Steve – Glad you like it mate and you are correct, it is a crop but even so it’s still 5614×5614pixels at over 300 pix/inch..so still a very juicey file. :)
