Murky Water

My first attempt at my "get pushed challenge". Donna (@dhostick) challenged me to long shutter speed. This is not quite a second but due to the dreadful colour of the water I thought this one came out the best. It has been really interesting and I will be playing some more!
@dhostick Donna, I hope this was the sort of thing you wanted me to do! :-)

I like the contrasts of browns

great long exposure

It's great that you're trying something new. Well done.

yes, this is exactly what I had in mind, and I think the "not as long" long shutter speed works well with the murkier watter. I love all of the textures in this photo, too!

Great shot Sally. I like that you can make out the clarity in the little still bits. I like long exposures, but don't see many waterfalls round here!

@louiesphotos not sure this can be classified as a waterfall! It's all of about half a meter and run off from the rain we've had over the last two days. By tomorrow it will be dry.

That's a waterfall where I come from!! Haha... Actually we have a trickling creek, over some rocks, at the back of my place - but I'd have to stand chest deep in the creek to get the shot I want. I've considered it; but far too cold at the moment.

The movement and blur are right. Good start.

Good job Sally! I think this is a good start and you'll be improving the more you experiment with it.

You got the soft effect on the water nicely. You really need good clear water to make it sparkle, but a great try.

You've got the soft silky water really well.

Great challenge shot!

very muddy capture!
August 8th, 2012  
You've done well for your challenge, I think! The water looks smooth!
August 8th, 2012  
Works for the challenge, nicely done!
August 8th, 2012  
You have the technicalities down....well done!
August 9th, 2012  
Well done! I am also planning to make some of pics with long exposure - the water becomes silky! Thank you for sharing, Sally. Go on with your experiments!

I think it came out beautiful.
