Flow...
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 13 August 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
A long exposure, taken at Canonteign Falls in Devon. This is not the falls itself, but a minor fall over a set of rocks downstream of the falls itself.
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Beautifully realised. Six seconds seems perfect, actually. I tried this in Japan once and discovered even two seconds was too long. I'm taking a guess by saying that the stream was flowing rather slowly?
PS Welcome to A-3. May your images be fruitful by multiplying over the course of their natural time. :)

@Sashmo Au.go.go: Cheers for the welcome Sashmo! It wasnt that the stream was flowing particularly slowly, but I had a polariser and an ND filter on my lens, which helped to reduce the amount of light coming in the lens.
@Vahid: Thanks Vahid

Oh. My. Dave! I thought I'd take a walk through your archives since I've missed so many earlier dated photos, when I saw this! Wow! Stunning photo! Love everything about it. Gorgeous colours and the water looks simply divine! Ha, and here's me.. a woman of few words when it comes to comments. ;)

Awesome! I can't wait to be in an area to take these long exposure shots of flowing water.

Nice shot. This reminds me of a small stream that I hike by along the Wailua River in Kauai, Hawaii. Strange that two geographically diverse places could seem so familiar. Nice job.

@Henry: Thanks Henry, and apologies for the belated response!

I think the long exposure for 6 seconds works well. Good job.

Just how I like my water Dave, I know only too well the problem of rogue branches, especially straight after a good down pour. Nice light too not too strong.
