the sound of silence by summerfield

the sound of silence

this is further down the brook that is part of a larger stream and/or river at the park that partner and i visited this morning.

pssst! i was so daring this morning - i placed my camera on a rock and it was surrounded by water. one mistake and it would be in the water. what the heck! the rock was about the size of a CD and half an inch above water. aha! partner didn't expect i'd do that since he thinks i'm miss fuzzy-wuzzy!

thought i'd process it a tad bit as it looked quite dull with the heavy clouds, which lifted within the hour. exposure of two seconds is enough to get the blur on the water.

thank you so much for your kind views and comments; i shall continue to catch up on your albums tomorrow.
Looks like a top spot for just sitting and relaxing :)

Lovely pov and you are a brave girl - camera + water = scary

Great composition. I can almost hear the frogs and crickets.

i love the perspective, and can almost hear the water gurgling along ~ i'm glad no cameras were harmed in the taking of this photo!

Gorgeous pov, Summerfield!! And quite daring to lay the camera on that rock. But one has to do what one has to do. I totally understand. The water movement and whole scene are beautiful. WOW. You "rock!" Have missed you much!!

You smoothed the water wonderfully on the exposure and I loke your pov.

very nicely processed... this has a lovely darkish fairyland feel to it... rocks make for awesome tripods... i've also used logs and discarded bricks :)

Wow! Beautiful capture! Your settings for the water are perfect and you are showing us that you like to take risks!

That's how I do it- just stick the camera on the ground and shoot!! Pretty shot- it was worth the risk.
