Meeting of the Waters by graemestevens

Meeting of the Waters

This was taken at The Meeting of the Waters, which is where the Waiwakaiho River meets some other wet piece of stuff before flowing down to the sea at New Plymouth. I did not fall in and managed to remain dry for the duration of the shoot...also used the Cokin NDX Filters again, so this is also SOOC.
This is for the B&W "Water" challenge.
Gahhhh!!!! Gorgeous!!

@cindyloo Thanks very much - looking at it again, perhaps a harder crop at the top?

this is gorgeous Graeme and the B&W allows us to really feast our eyes on the water without being distracted by colour

@annied Thank you very much :)

Ho shit! Sorry Graeme for my language. This is so fantastic! Great in B&W and I'm shure this is also great in color! You are so inspiring. I'm so lucky to have you as a (virtual) friend.

You are getting very clever with these filters! Nicely done in B&W however I want to see it in colour too!

@gigiflower Hmmm...Thanks very much, loving experimenting with them, although some shots have been horrific "cock ups"

Fabulous capture, love the softness of the water. Simply wonderful
June 2nd, 2014  
super processing
June 2nd, 2014  
OMG googled SOOC to see what that kind of filter you used...silly me
As always, in awe of your daily submissions. So the filter you used is that what is giving the mist of the water kinda cloudy feel??? just curious how u captured this...


Lovely capture!

@rachelwithey thanks very much
@peter_1966 thanks, appreciated
@eyeamlisa thank you nice lady
@andy3168 thanks very much
@wearing0 thanks, came out quite well :)
@roseolivia thanks so much
@denisefuller thanks - it's straight out if the camera
@livvy thanks very much - just used a very dark filter that let me really slow down the shutter speed to a 13 second exposure during the middle of the day. Tripod a must.
June 2nd, 2014  
Even better then Graeme!!!
June 2nd, 2014  
Absolutely stunning! Definitely want to give this a try having just purchased a new tripod and an ND filter!!
June 2nd, 2014  
That is a ripper Graeme, and even better that you didn't fall in! You've certainly nailed the effect you wanted, and your treatment of the shot has made it wonderfully moody and dark. Great for the theme too. Have you entered it in the weekly theme 'water', theme-h20?
