A little czech waterfall :)

#WaterfallWednesday

There is magic and wonder in the night. When our eyes are no longer expected to see full reality, our imaginations are freed.

This is my first ever contribution to #longexposurethursday curated by +Le Quoc and +Francesco Gola.

And it's fitting with #silhouettesonthursday curated by +Siddharth Pandit,
#thirstythursday curated by +Giuseppe Basile,
and #travelthursday curated by +Laura Mitchum.
Wow - that's a four-fer! :D

I am a little bit nervous posting this for a couple of reasons. One being no one other than +Nathan Wirth (my most awesome mentor) has seen my long exposures and also because I took a lot of artistic leeway with this image.

This fork is real - it is huge and spiked into Lake Geneva on the waterfront in a town called Vevey. But that is about the extent of reality in this image. +Johan Peijnenburg and I went there in the daytime - pretty much full noon actually! (he has his awesome version of the fork posted on his page - go see!).

I used a 10 stop hitech filter for this image to "stop time" and bend reality a bit. It left a horrid green/blue color cast, which normally I would have immediately dropped down to monochrome. But this time my inner mystic urged me to work with the color. A moon and a few stars later, here we are, in the full on mystery of the night. ;)

The fork is in the lake outside the doors to Alimentarium, Nestle's Food Museum. Here is a link that tells a bit about it: http://www.alimentarium.ch/en/la-fourchette.html

A large swell turns into a complex wave as it reaches the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii.

I've only photographed waves once in my life, and it was an incredible experience. I flew out to Hawaii on short notice for a final winter storm. Each day, we would wake up at the crack of dawn to go searching for a good spot to shoot, and most of each day was spent waiting around. Patience is a necessary skill for wildlife and nature photographers!

Special thanks to Norbert Wu for hosting me while I was there (he had rented a place for the season).

The Majestic Waterfall
On the pass between Lærdal and Aurland, Norway

Canon 5D, Canon 17-40 4L @ 22mm, f/16, 2.5 seconds, polarizer, tripod, manual focus, multi exposures with different focus settings

This is a multi focus exposure which has been stacked together later in order to get maximum depth of field.

Oh, I nearly forgot. Today is #WaterfallWednesday ;-)

Here's one from this morning before the sun came over the trees. Another sugar maple shedding its leaves makes for a color-rich scene.

Happy #WaterfallWednesday! This is the iconic shot from the viewpoint of Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge just outside of Portland, OR. If you like to shoot waterfalls, this is THE place to go in the US. I shot so many waterfalls that weekend that I almost never wanna shoot another waterfall in my LIFE :P Enjoy!

In the Spirit!
