Softly, softly

Thank you gemlenz – especially for the favouritinig!!! (Hey – is it really Easter-anticipation time already?? Noticing your cards – - beautifully done.)

Hey Darren you take a deep breath (literally!!!) and hope for the best!!! Either that or read tutorials and use the tripod and be prepared for a lot of duds. This was a bit overexposed so I worked on it a bit. Thanks for the kind words.

I’m certainly not challenging your Crown as Waterfall King Boz!!! Hand held means you also suffer from ‘breath held’ and need a moment to recover afterwards … thanks for the positive comment.

Will that is sweet of you. It was a bit washed out straight from the camera – obviously I need to work on my settings – but, I was pretty happy with it. Thanks buddy – more practise when we get an outing going up your way!!!

Thanks Sharon – I’ll have to find somewhere local to practise – it was a tad overexposed initially … however, PS comes in handy!

Hey Carisma – just a way of describing the white blurred effect with a slower shutter speed, as opposed to the ‘frozen’ snapshot which freezes the water as it falls. I’ve never been game to try before! Thank you for the compliments!

The wonderful Waterfall King has sent me a bub suggesting a tighter crop and I must confess his example did look good!!! Next time Boz!

Thanks Max – there’s an art to this – have to keep at it!!

Thanks Mike – appreciated.

That is a generous comment Warren – this amateur really just fluked something passable – Boz has cropped this in, sent it to me in a bubblemail, and I must confess it looked great cropped. He suggests foilage etc distracts and maybe he’s right – need to go try some more shots now!!

Oh goodness thank you for the kind words AND the favouriting!

The black frames sure dress up a pic don’t they Noelene!! Thanks for the visit and for favouriting this pic.

You are kind – thanks heaps Kellie.

Thank you Shelley – I appreciate that coming from you – you have some great w/fall pics yourself!

My wordsmith friend – thank you! There is nothing like being among nature to set the world to rights and get things in perspective. Thank you for favouriting this photo.

Ah Stuart, Boz is such a gentleman he wouldn’t be trying to get his own back (much!) ... I have to stay on his good side so he’ll show me where some nice waterfalls are in the mountains! Seriously I’m OK with suggestions – in fact I welcome them – great way to learn!!! Thanks for your kind comments Stuart – much appreciated.

G’day Craig – thanks for popping in and your positive comment. Good to see you around.

Travis thank you for the high praise … just discovered your portfolio and I am blown away!!!

Thanks for the visit and lovely words Ellen – you are welcome to my comment – your work is really stunning.

Thanks for scrolling Gail!! And commenting – will work on a suitable verse!

Hey Jeff – you don’t do a bad waterfall or two yourself my friend!!! Thank you.

Hey Sharra –

No polarizer (perhaps a mistake as is was sunny)
Brace yourself and hold your breath!!

It was a tad overexposed but RAW processing worked a treat.

Thanks Douzy – thanks for the generous comment – your portraits and B&W pics are stunning – who needs waterfalls when you can shoot like that!

Thank you my fiend.

Ken your comment is appreciated – especially in light of your own waterfall shots!!! Great stuff … you also have some wonderful rusty pics that would go well in my Rusty Crusty group??!!

Thank you SnapHappy … love your moggy shots also!

I appreciate the sympathy Richie!!!! And the kind words.

Thanks Lizzie.

Thank you clarkey – very generous comments.

So pleased you like it Ravenor.

Helen thank you for your compiments – and the favouriting. Nothing quite like a spot like this for relaxing!

Your visit and comment are both appreciated Alan. I do enjoy keeping an eye on Scotland’s landscape through your landscapes!

Thanks Daniel – each shot has its points – this sure does show the green ferns etc. Thank you for favouriting this one AND for adding me to your watchlist (Hey – your rusty truck would go well in our Rusty Crusty Group!!)

Thank you studiofascino – much appreciated. I particularly like your work of the Marina – what a stunning piece.

Thank you unbelier – pleased you like it!!!

Steven thank you so much – esp for the favouriting. Love your ‘tidal’ series – you have a great eye.

Thanks Paul for your visit and kind comment. Appreciated.

Pleased you like it Irene – nature is the best ‘subject’ isn’t it!!

Warren it was a bit of a fluke I must confess as I was waiting for Warren Williams to do his shots, but it has encouraged me to try some more. My settings for this, in bright sun and hand held (and holding my breath!!!) were as follows:
exp: 0.250s
ap: f16
ISO: 160
WB: Auto
No polarizer (perhaps a mistake as is was sunny)
Hand held

That may, or may not, help!!! Thanks for the favouriting and for your very kind comments!

Thanks Julie for your enthusiastic comment.
