I really like “the shape of water? in this photo. The two directions and meeting in the near middle
really works. The sharp and the blurred are nice contrasts.
Thanks – the shape of the water flow is what I think about in an image like this, along with what the rocks contribute.
Next to the foliage you New Englanders have, I think I might envy your rocks and rills the most. This is lovely. When I first saw water portrayed in this way, I was uncertain; it seemed a little too soft to me. But I haven’t seen any for a while, and this really delighted me when I opened it.
Long exposures of water are a matter of taste – this was three seconds. I’ve read some photographers prescribe exposures of 1/25 or shorter for flowing water, so there is more detail. I had one exposure at around 1 second I liked, but I preferred this longer one.
And of course there’s no need to stick with one formula!
