Going down slow
Another shot from my forest wander last week. I know these woods well, I know from past visits that some of these gully's had water but I did expect to find such an amount of fast flowing water. Making compositions was not easy not so bad for this one but another stream proved to be more difficult, This scene is a little chaotic but it is how nature intended to be be, I don`t mind doing a little gardening in a scene but I will not alter a scene so as to change it altogether.
With this image I had one tripod leg in the stream and one foot on the edge to compose a diagonal flow through the image and to keep the wonderful fallen leaves in as well, my biggest problem was the bright area at the top I did use my polariser and have used the highlights slider to reduce the brightness rather than crop.
Flood water and huge puddles are now going down slowly which reminds me of a song from a fave artist of mine who is no longer with us, If you like the blues give this a go
