Long Exposure with Water

This photographer used a 15 minute exposure time for this photo. In doing this he has made the water look very soft and calming, creating a dream like effect. The constantly moving water looks soft whilst the static land stays in focus and strong. I like the way he has composed this photo, with minimal detail and how focus is put on the small bit of land to the right of the image.

This photo is taken at a waterfall near me. I really like the variety of colour in this photo, especially how the flowing white water contrasts so well with the green moss on the surrounding rocks. The touches of yellow and red from the autumn leaves in the foreground add brightness to the image. The use of a long exposure gives the flowing water a streaky look and a soft fog effect where it falls into the water below.


I really like this photo because of the angle it has been taken at. The photographer has used a rather short exposure time, just enough to get the feel of the running water. The deep blacks and greys of the water contrast well with the grass and rocks above it, and the small depth of field means focus is placed on the running water, but still providing a good backdrop.
This photo was taken by Alex Wise. I really like the way he has managed to get the flowing water at a really low perspective, and how the surrounding trees provide a natural green frame to the white waters. The different levels of the waterfall provide an excellent photo opportunity, and the wet rocks in the foreground of the picture contrast well with the water.
