~~Hear the Silence~~ [Contest Finalists November 2004]
Uploaded: November 18, 2004 04:25:25
Okay I'm back to my images from our vacation now!!! This is another from Rock Castle Creek. What a truly peaceful, captivating little spot!! Did some minor tweaking and added a slight Buzz to this to just add a little to the peaceful feeling. I think I went and fell in love with water shots on this trip!! But alas there isn't much in my immediate area to practice on.

Thanks so much for commenting Pual, Caludia, Donna, Joy, and Wally!! There is just something about water especially moving water that washes all the cares of the world away!! I've always loved the water but even more so now!! #923041Judith G. Secco November 18, 2004

Thanks so much for your comments Judith and Charlene!! #923125Janet L. Skinner November 18, 2004
I love your water shots, Marcie. You have done such a great job on this. I feel the water!! #923157Marcie A. Fowler November 18, 2004
Thanks so much Janet. It was a goal of mine to learn how to do this. So I contacted, some months ago, the one who does them best at BP, Darren Fisher for some help. He gave me tips via e-mail but then in October I actually got to go to VA and shoot with him. He promised I would know how to do these shots by the time I left so . . . this is the result!! #923173Kathleen Clemons November 18, 2004
You've been a quick learner, Marcie! This is beautiful. #923187Marcie A. Fowler November 18, 2004

gorgeous image marcie. I really love the buzz effect...looks so peaceful! #923380Marcie A. Fowler November 18, 2004
Thanks so much C.J. I'd like to go back some day and just spend a day taking water shots! #923421Darren K. Fisher November 18, 2004
I love it!!! It makes me so very happy to see these images and to know you did it and are happy about them. You did learn it very well, but it makes it easy to teach someone something that I love doing so very much when they have the passion as well. There is nothing better than standing in the middle of the woods and hearing a creek rushing by, and just letting it wash away anything that is on your mind at that moment away. I could spends hours doing this. Any how, Great job Marcie and the added effect really adds to the mood here. #923455Marcie A. Fowler November 18, 2004
WOW!!! You outdid yourself with that comment Darren!! You simply can't know how much that means!! Thanks so very much!!! Couldn't have said it better myself. So next time we get to visit in your area we have to do a whole day of nothing but water!!! So glad you like the image so much!!!! There are still more to come so . . . #923477Robert Goodman November 18, 2004
Beautiful,Marcie!!!!! #923751Marcie A. Fowler November 18, 2004
Thanks Robert! #923844Murry Grigsby November 18, 2004
Lovely title/image combo Marcie! Looks like you're pushing Darren with these silky smooth water shots :0) After the thunderstorms yesterday and last night this looks a little like our back yard. #923845Marcie A. Fowler November 18, 2004
Gee Murry I'm not too sure about that but I thank you for the compliment and comment. #923858Randy Kokesch November 18, 2004
Hi Marcie, This is an inspiring shot. I hope to go a few minutes north of Winnipeg this weekend to take some shots of the rapids. I'm new to this site. I've noticed a couple of photographers say they "added some buzz" to the photo. Can you explain what that means.Thanks
Randy

Sharon Day November 18, 2004
Beautiful image, Marcie!!! Great job on the water and Buzz. Very pretty! #923966Marcie A. Fowler November 18, 2004
Thanks so much Randy and Sharon for your comments.Randy . . . Buzz is a filter that you can add to PhotoShop and use like any of the other filters. It can be adjusted to give different effects depending on what you want. It gives a painted feeling to images in most cases. I can send you the link to it if you want to e-mail me through my gallery. And welcome to the sight. I think you'll enjoy it!! It's a great group of very supportive photographers at all different levels and stages of the art!! Most, if not all, are willing to share their knowledge with others and equally willing to admit when then just don't know!!! #923979
Mellanie November 18, 2004
