What can I say other than just gorgoues, Darren!!!!! #154142Damian P. Gadal July 31, 2003
I agree - stunning! #154146David G. Ziegert July 31, 2003
Classic water shot. #154153Julia S. Chadwick July 31, 2003
Wow, that is one awesome shot, do you think you could tell me what you did to capture the water like that? #154214Darren K. Fisher July 31, 2003
Sure Julia I would be more than happy to help you out. First off you want an overcast day and a somewhat shady area. I also use a polarizer to make it a bit darker. Also helps knock off glare on rocks. I used a setting of about f/16 and 10sec. here. But that is using Velvia at an ISO rating at 40. When using an 100iso film your sec. will be a bit shorter but can still get the same effect. Make sure you use a tripod and maybe a cable release or your timer. Hope this helps and if you have any more questions feel free to email me. #154232Susana Matos July 31, 2003

This is an absolutely beautiful photo, Darren! A great scene, very nicely composed and the exposure resulted in just the right amount of light and veiling. Very nicely planned and executed!
