Quote: Third stands out because it is a different theme, and it is a great image. One suggestion - for portrait images could you please post them smaller so that they will fit onto my screen (which is a 24" monitor). I'd love to see you shoot the same scene with different aperture/shutter speed combinations as I'm not convinced the flowing water option is always the best choice. We'll really, I want to be wherever you are taking these images and doing it myself, but since I can't do that, I'll suggest you try things out.
First, thank you for taking the time to comment. As far as adjusting my aperture, for water flow, I do this all the time. I just don't post every example when I shoot a scene. On this shoot I took over 400 images and tried a number of settings for each framing. What I post here is a small sliver of my outings and never really get into showing my approach to a area. As far as posting smaller its a force of habit as I post a certain size image on my web site.
Look, for me its all about learning something that is new to me and each area has so much to offer. I tend to go back to areas I like, under different weather conditions, trying to push more out of a area. Hell, most times its a inner feeling for my when I work a area and do I get it right all the time, no way but the process, for me, is about pushing my limites. So much to leanr and so little time. Cheers JIM
