Twiggy

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 8 January 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

If it wasn't for the weird thready shape in the bottom right of the image, which must be a hair that drifted onto the lens, this'd be my one of my favourite shots! Still love it though.

This was taken on new years eve; I had a bit of a heavy night, and decided to get some fresh air to clear my head. I wandered down to the local waterfall, which is a lovely spot and completely unknown to everyone bar the locals, and ended up getting my feet wet paddling around to get this shot! (Best hangover cure ever!)

This was taken using a tripod, a ND filter, and closing the aperture down to maximum so I could get a nice long exposure. Other than a tweaking of the histograms and an unsharp mask, it's seen as shot!

Due to the fact that I'll be working on site in Scotland for the forseeable future, I probably won't be able to respond to comments straight away, but will try my best, and will definitely get back to you eventually!

As always, feedback and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!
