Secret River

[bloodhound31]

I went four wheel driving with a cousin today, which gave me access to a hidden treasure deep in the Brindabella mountains.

We finally got into the river a bit late and the light was extremely low. We had to use a torch to get out.

The one shot I got off was a 30 second exposure at ISO 100 f8, 18mm.

I think I'll go back and do it again with a bit more light.

Shhh!

Nothing wrong with that shot.

Oooh, that looks a really nice spot.

Lovely image Baz.

there's some good trout fishing in that river, not that I've ever caught one.

Looks nice Baz. I think you got the light just right - the 30 sec exposure gives nice streaks in the water, which would be more difficult if the light was much brighter.

Cheers,

that's it baz perfect shot

[telemarker (Keith)]

Nice shot. Lovely rendition of the granite, lichen and cassurina colours. You'd be pretty happy with that shot I expect.

PS. Is that close to where Flea Ck comes in? That big rock in the centre of the river seems vaguely familiar.

Think I would have cut off the bottom 15%. The tree is a cracker wonderful twists. Good shot.

A very nice spot by the looks of it, and a nice image too

I would somewhat darken/under-expose and slightly increase contrast, and perhaps even add some vignetting. I think doing all that adds a lot more mood to it and brings out the colours more without it becoming over saturated.

Oh, and I agree with Ian - I would crop some of the bottom.
