clear waters

i really like the water quality in this photo, ranging from superbly clear to the deep aqua/green tone on the right... this is one of the regions still reasonably untouched by civilisation and you can see it at every step of the way through the valley...

i hope you are enjoying the journey through the Tatra Mountains with me...

Canon EOS 400D 1/125 second F/8.0 ISO 200 10 mm

It's very nice nature and colors, but something is missing to make it special.. (I only don't know what:)

Andrea from Regina, Canada

I agree about the water, and the lighting overall is great. I find it difficult to get the right exposure when shooting in the mountains for some reason.

15 Nov 2010 6:36pm

@Andrea: hello Andrea! it is not that easy - this shot was evenly illuminated but on may others there were shadows over the mountains and that made it difficult to get the exposure right...

Julie Brown from Indianapolis, United States

The colors are amazing. I agree with the others-I would love to experience this place!

A beautifully serene location and the water is exquisite, beckoning me into the frame. A superb frame, DarkElf.

Peyman from mashhad, Iran

wow , beautiful place!
why did you use ISO 200 instead of ISO 100?

16 Nov 2010 4:11pm

@Peyman: hello Peyman! i used ISO 200 because i had a polarising filter on and that was reducing exposure already by about stops - you can see the shutter speed was 1/125s here and if i went to ISO 100 then shutter speed would come down to 1/60s and since i was shooting hand held for most of the scenic photos i preferred to have the back up of extra shutter speed...

Kiki from Ambert, France

Wow - this is beautiful. I usually don't compare spots in nature - but there is a lake on the eastern flank of the Sierra-Nevada that resembles this in a haunting way to my mind - June Lake - just south of Mammoth.

Ja Proszę Pan przez dziesięć lat przebywałem w pobliżu, ale wtedy nie było cyfrówek. Nic wtedy nie było tylko góry i wódka na kartki. Komu by się chciało chodzić . Do sklepu to i owszem :)
