infrared
:ok more info:
this is a holding dam on the Rideau River/Canal system (Long Locks to be specific) durring spring runoff
high noon & bright sky
shooting blind (i tape over the view finder so stray light doesn't mess the infrared image)
grey point for WhiteBal., bit o'curves, USM in Nikon Capture
obviously NO bit editing , dodging & burning etc ...

thankyou all for voting on this image & i am very pleased at being in the top 10%
"D&B comment " refered to a question asked & answered during the challenge
finding the correct focus point is been generally by luck with my infrared images
i.e. shoot with f16 but manually focus at infinity/infrared marker at f8
more pronounced motion blur would turn the water into a mat & featureless
(been experimenting with a stronger IR filter also which showed that effect)
I.E. cemetery picture
full sized image (IMO) does not show a difference in focus between foregound & background - possibly a image reduction artifact
Not sure what the D&B comment was referring to, but I do notice that the two center piers appear lighter than the other two; could be accidental. The texture they reveal is one of several great strengths of the photo, IMO. Would be nice to see the same in the other two piers. As good as the image is, I think it might be better if the sluice - or whatever the foreground structure is - were sharply in focus and the motion blur in the water were more pronounced.
A note to this photographer - and all the rest of you.
Please, won't you all identify the location of your image (as well as what it is!)
There are so many wonderful works of art in this world - both man-made and God-gifted. Won't you be generous enough to tell us what and where they are?
Our learning process at dpChallenge shouldn't be limited only to the photography.
Gee, think this might be a pet-frustration!?! Thanks. Kathy
fits the challenge well but your editing has left this looking very much like a digital art type of image, not realistic at all, might have been better to leave it in color
I like this very much - great sense of simplicity, great use of light, great timing of exposure to blur the water. The composition is nicely balanced, nicely weighted, and the tonality works really well for me. To keep the level of detail whilst only using a fifth of the available file size is impressive - though there are obvious compression artefacts along the railings of the bridge.
This is a neat shot! I like the texture of the structures and then i like how whatever is on the bottom of the picture is all misty...its neat almost like a fog. Nice shot
