A Quiet Walk  by laurentye

A Quiet Walk

I went for a really nice walk late this evening with my husband. It was really quiet and peaceful here and was nice to just walk and talk. This trail we took was surrounded by trees and flowers and followed beside this little stream. I love finding quiet, secluded little places like this within my city. It's a nice break from all the roads and buildings.

* Also, I found it difficult to decide what to call that water: stream, creek, brook... hmmm?
wow this doesn't even look real! What great DOF. I can't get any perspective on just how big those rocks are!

It's almost as if you've done some tilt-shift on this. Looks very modelish.

@skyepurls thanks :) the rocks in the front with the focus weren't too big, i guess a few inches...

It is so nice to have spaces like this in the middle of a very busy city. I think brook is the best one to go with

wow wow & more wow love the textures reflections & clours in this with the great 1.8 Lauren signature effect. The detail is amazing just like the capture. Very relaxing to look at & glad you both found a new place of beauty. I would say stream but others brook not sure what the difference is between the two...

Beautiful focus
July 29th, 2011  
beautiful colors and perfect dof!

Nice shot, Lauren, great dof and pov. You could call it a watercourse and be all ecologist about it. Looks teeny tiny and maybe even man-made.
July 30th, 2011  
Fantastic textures!

Canon-envy, love this shot.

Really beautiful, Lauren! I love how you kept the focus on the stones and made a perfect DOF. Looks so quiet and calm.
