This is a walkway alongside a park. Trying out water movement shots. Funny thing - people see you taking a photo of something ordinary they see every day and look at you then look back to see what was interesting enough for a photo! Walk on.
You did an excellent job! I have not figured this one out yet but need a waterfall to practice on. Good job. And you are right about people wondering about what the heck you are taking a picture of.
@sugarmuser Thanks - I did forget that and have now checked. The only difference which I didn't like was when I reduced the fstop and increased the ISO. Two of them were completely black so that setting didn't work at all!
Beautiful shot, Maggiemae! Lovely soft water and very nice surroundings! People are funny that way. If you saw someone doing the same thing, would you turn to look at what was so interesting!
this is really lovely... i like how you composed it with the lines dividing in half top and bottom, and then the bottom divided in two as well... works nicely to focus the eye on the waterfall :)
and indeed... people often try to figure out what i am finding so interesting as to take a photo of... and i definitely return the favour... what makes me crazy are the enthousiasts who decide that i really MUST come and take a look at THIS and take a photo of it as well... you know, i'd be taking a picture of grit, and get dragged off to see and photog the baby ducks... (the ducks were very cute, but REALLY, i wanted my street shot ;p)
Great capture of the water in this photo. That's funny. . .I would have missed the stag I photographed if another guy hadn't been stopped photographing it.
Wonderful pov & water movement here!....and yes it always amazes me how people pass such great beauty without even a second glance.....untill they see someone with a camera! : ]
LOL! I have the same problem. People look at me like...."why on Earth is she taking a photo of that?" You captured the water movement very well and this is a perfectly lovely scene. Well done!
I had that look yesterday as I parked on the side of the road to take a pic of a tree in the distance. I am sure the trucks that went past the drivers were thinking (what is she doing.) Great shot.
Water is a great subject - very calming and theraputic. I like the POV back along the creek, I love the colours and the water action, the textures and the composition. A really great photo.
Isn't that the truth!! I have had them come up to me and ask if I am a photographer?? Duh, well what do you say? No, actually this is a surveyors tool hidden in a camera and I am doing a survey here!!! LOL
A good eye to see what they never did when they walked past.
