Absolutely stunning Beth !

[beth]

thanks

[Marty E]

I agree with Ellen, this shot is stunning! Love the composition with wooden, windowed structure and fall colors in the background showcasing the silky waterfalls.

[beth]

thanks marty

[Wendy P]

This looks like a picture from yesteryear! Beautifully captured, Beth.

[beth]

thanks wendy.  it is pretty much from yesteryear.  the mill is made up of 3 old mills preserved from around the area.  it’s still working, they sell flour made in the mill inside.

[Astaroth]

Wow! It looks like a fairytale place! I love the silk effect on the water. I need to add a neutral density filter to my gear… and find places like this!

[beth]

nd filters help and i always keep a 10 stop filter in my bag.  but i don’t think i used an nd filter on this shot.  it was cloudy and shot maybe an hour or two before sunset.  exif says f/13, iso 200 and 1.3 seconds seems about right to me with no nd filter in those conditions.

[Astaroth]

Oh! I thought longer exposures were mandatory for pictures like that… It’s a great shot!

[beth]

it depends on how fast the water is moving.  if it’s a slow trickle, then you need a longer shutter speed.  if it’s fast, you don’t need long at all.  this had a pretty good current.

[Kenneth Wong]

@loki Very nice.

[beth]

thanks kenneth

[Pat Garrett]

@loki is this an old grist mill? I believe I’ve seen other images of it (not on this forum, though)

[beth]

it is.  it’s a pretty well known park in west virginia.

[Marty E]

The springtime arrival of bluebonnets is eagerly anticipated every year in Texas.

[Wendy P]

Nicely composed, Marty. I like the way the “leading line” meanders across the frame, dividing the lush green side from the plainer mudbank opposite.

[Marty E]

Thank you, Wendy!

An unexpected photo of a waterfall in the middle of an arid path I’ve walked many times without ever seeing anything like it. It must have emerged at this precise moment due to the rains, right at the end of spring, almost summer.

[Pat Garrett]

What a pleasant surprise. A beautiful hidden gem.

[Astaroth]

Thank you! For me, it was shocking to come across something like this on an arid path I had traveled so many times…

[Kenneth Wong]

Thank you Pat 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

My favorite road – A Road for All Seasons. In the past year, storms took out the huge tree in the center of each image. I learned the owners were heartbroken and had no picture of their beautiful, beloved tree. One day I stopped and gave them these prints. I’ll never forget their reaction or the feelings i had in being able to give them a visual memory of a very old tree that had graced the lawn for centuries.

[Kenneth Wong]

@patography The gift of the print was a very nice gesture. Not many people would have done that.

[Pat Garrett]

@kwongphotography Thank you, Kenneth. It was something I felt compelled to do. You just know those times, don’t you?  And I love the softness and the “heat” in your image below.

[Kenneth Wong]

@patography Yes, I believe you’re right. For some of us there definitely times when something within ourselves which seems to scream, “this is something that needs to be done.”

[Rose Marie]

Lovely images and lovely story, Pat.

[Patrick]

very nice set pat my fav is the last one with the colder scene , the lovely warm light sets a nice mood , top marks for sharing your print as well , very decent and kind of you as ever 🙂
