Night Wave
An untouched close up(with exposure)of a submerged brige when a few beaver’s dams just collaps a couple of nights ago.I couldn’t drink or even used the water in my house for 2 days.We were not able to go out of our area for a day.It happenned at night and we could hear the raging fload so loud,it was amazing.The firemen were at the bridge watching when I took that close-up.This image is the result of the destroyed bridge,half of it just went along with the water,a very impressive scene to see and to hear because of the dead trees and rocs rolling over the road.The little touches of colors you see are the reflection comming from the lights of the firemen’s truck.I didn’t know if I would have enough light,in fact I didn’t have any idea about the result.I thought about using exposure for the creamy texture….I just remember that my boyfriend kept asking me,how much time you still need,5 or 10 min. and I answered 15 …. :)) He wanted to go to sleep,it was 1 o’clock in the morning.

Night Wave belongs to the following groups:
As Is, Body of Work and Nature's Macro Canvas (No flowers or insects) Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Hello !Arie,sorry for the delay of replying,it’s so nice of you to tell me about this challenge,I sure will post that pic.I’m wonderring though what 300 dpi means.I know it’s dot per inch but they usualy ask for a min of pixels.I have to find out …thank you so much I will give you some news about it….xx Gigi

Fantastic contrast between the wild splashing in the back and the smooth flow in the front. Amazing! Hope your water is restored at home soon, but glad you had the middle-of-the-night patience and opportunity to shoot this. It’s beautiful!
midzing
brilliant!
mausue
Talk about grasping the moment. Brilliant capture. Nice photography!!
shallay
Electrifying imagery, and powerful current. I didn’t know a beaver’s barrage would act like a weir – I know nothing of beavers, so the background story is like something out of a frontier tale – very exciting and different!
onefourseven
An awesome capture!!
Almost looks like a blend of two different shots

incredible. the story makes the dancing in the water even more incredible; the flow is intense! My town was recently flooded; both the destruction & storm clouds made for intense captures and also challenges as this one where light was nil; Very nicely done
