Well I have been MIA for almost two months, busy busy busy with real life stuff... But worry not I have been taking pictures along the way.
Lately I have been taking a lot of water shots with slow shutter speeds. I am trying to master the effect and well just having lots of fun playing.
This shot was taken at the Elora Gorge in Ontario. The grand river rips by at spots along the way through the gorge, These pictures with a slow shutter speed makes it look like the water is fast and smooth really the water is fast and rough. But I love the effect anyway.
I like that the colors beneath the rushing water came through on this image. I believe this was the place where I smacked my backside off a rock the last time I went tubing down the Grand River. Damn that hurt!
This is a small hole in one of the rocks on the shore of the grand that a trickle of water was spilling over the rock.
I should be sleeping right now but instead I am enthralled in the world of photographs. Like all passions it can be difficult to find the appropriate time to engage in them, so often you loose sleep doing it. But it is all worth it in the end, its fun and relaxing and rewarding.
I desided to put my photos in boarders to highlight parts of the picture that I find interesting. Some are good and others eeeekkkk!!! Is that what you get for experimenting? Apparently.
Like this one for instance I wanted to highlight the yellow leaf slumped over the twig so I desided on a yellow boarder... And well you can see for yourself that yellow is just nasty on this picture! If anything it takes away from the image.... So it is back to the drawing board!
There I think we can all agree that the yellow has to go. What do you think?
The rise on the right of the frame is the kick up of the rapids.
