"Hobbit's Hidden Treasure"
©David A. Ziser
I captured this image while visiting Multnomah Falls a few years ago. It still remains one of my favorite images from that wonderful trip to the Columbia River Valley near Portland, Oregon.
This image was also featured in a Technique Tuesday I did where I was discussing extremely slow hand-held shutter speeds. How slow – how about 1/3 second. Yes, handheld. You can catch that TTues episode right here. I love blurring flowing water and Multnomah Falls is the perfect place to do just that.
It was this motion blur together with the water's misty spray in the bright late morning sun which provided a hint of mystery to the shot. A tweak or two in Lightroom finished the image's treatment weaving the colors and textures into their artistic presentation.
Camera specs; Canon 5D Mark II fitted with 24-105mm IS lens at 24mm, F22 @ 1/3 second (handheld), ISO 50. Enjoy! -David
I hope Dave returns to Michigan soon....so much more to learn.....
ReplyDeleteVery nice. As someone who lives in that area I've seen photo after photo of Multnomah Falls. You have something a little different given the spray and the sunlight filtering down. Well done.
ReplyDeleteOk that a nice image! Looks like a painting. Is there a painting effect applied on this?
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. Handheld at 1/3 of a second, that's amazing. I love this blog and your amazing wedding photography. Keep up sharing with us please.
