I took this on Monday, standing on the Polhollick suspension bridge near Ballater, looking upstream. The light was beautiful and I quite liked the bokeh effects of the rain drops on the lens.
Now this scene of the full spate of the river makes me nervous. It is a beautiful sight & shows the power but I am a nervous water person. I blame my grandparents for taking me to see The Plymouth Adventure about the voyage of The Mayflower. I was very young at the time but I have never forgotten it. Those wild seas.
Well, I can see how the river is posing a threat with this shot. Even though it's a still shot you can see how quickly the water is moving. I like that bokeh effect too.
lens flare Issi , a lens hood helps , one can try using one's hand to shade the lends too ! Keep your lens clean too , do you have a UV filter on the lens as that makes "lens cleaning" easier ....the photo is great
@phil_howcroft Thank you Phil. I'd left the lens hood at home (doh!). I find it a bit of a faff on the camera ... and once I had it on slightly squint and ended up with black corners on some of my photos!! No excuses for either, I know. Pay more attention to detail, I think is the solution! I'm always in a hurry! I do have a UV filter though - makes a big difference for looking after the lens. :-)
Bokeh is great!
