This is an example of things that I couldn't see, but the camera did. The green hue was brought out only by a long exposure. And to my friends who marvel at my ability to hold the camera still......no, I was forced to use the tripod. :-(
Fantastic shot Ron, beautiful reflections, lighting and colours, one of the pleasures of photography back in the day, waiting to get your prints back see what was captured, now plugging in to the PC, ( I've learned never delete an image until its viewed on a PC, don't rely on live view)
These shots are much harder to pull off than they look. Getting some detail in the shadows as you have done, without losing the highlights can be challenging. You pulled it off.
Love how green the light made the tree look. To me it looks like a cat's green eye on the water. It took me a second or two to figure out what created the red line in the water.
I'll confess, I had a crink in my neck by the time I got the Gears photo taken. I stared through the viewfinder while making lots of little adjustments on the tripod until that clock was squared up and straight. And hey, thanks for fav'ing the pic. You rock.
@pcoulson Yes, there was something fun about having to wait until later to see how your photos came out - the anticipation and the thrill when it came out perfect! But at the same time, being able to shoot, check, adjust and reshoot has its advantages too. We've been able to get a bit lazy in some respects, but there are things that we can do today that just weren't possible previously.
@lilminimonka Thanks, Brianna. Yes, I took an initial long exposure and suddenly saw this reflection that wasn't so noticeable with the naked eye. Adjusting the shutter speed allowed me to get it just so. @grahambudd Thanks, Graham. I have to admit that a little post processing helped out in that regard.
@lyndemc Yes, that red light was a transmitter that only lit periodically. I had to time the shot so that it flashed while the shutter was open. My visual of you trying to get the shot of the gears is quite entertaining! Worth it all,, though!
