My favourite type of photography is seascapes - none more so than anonymous photographs - photos that could have been taken anywhere - meaning all pre-concieved feelings and ideas are absent.
This photograph was made during a beautifuly subtle dawn well before the sun rising. In unusualy mild conditions I spent a bit of time picking my way along the rugged and craggy coastline until I cam across this tiny inlet which was charged with water with every big wave. I framed the shot to try and create flow through the photograph - I deliberately left the rocks on the right hand side of the frame to further help guide the eye.

I've been wanting to photograph these ledges at Buley Rockhole in Litchfield national park for a while but there is always someone on them!

After a less than spectacular sunrise, the sunlight got very strong so I ventured away from the edges of Kinder Scout and towards the centre of the plateau up one of the tributaries to Grindsbrook.
In the frosted shady regions I found a few compositions to be had - this being one of them. A long exposure of the clear water flowing over the textured rock.

A bunch of souls in search of their next destination, whether to purchase another cup of coffee or some fancy fashion accessory.
Everything flows in nature, everything happens and changes on a never ending mutating process.
The trees grow and die, insects, animals, humans, even the greatest of the stars in the sky follow the same destiny.
everything that works through energy , starts, and in some point dies. but energy never ends, it always transforms itself to go on travelling for the universe: limited existence coexists with the eternity it seems...
A view to remember. The picture can't capture the distance and the width of the Grand Canyon.
It looks like the River still floats in the massive landscope!
How much flow…
… is too much?
This is a topic that has come up a few times at Coffee and Cameras. It’s fair to say that opinions are divided.
I like a bit of flow (or motion blur). For me, it conveys movement and gives an added dimension to an image. But, it can be overdone.
Today’s two shots were taken in slightly different ways.
Shot 1 was taken with an open aperture (f2.5) and a moderately fast shutter speed (1/40th of a second). The intention here was to blur the background and give a tiny bit of movement in the water between the rocks.
Shot 2 was taken at f5, with a shutter speed of 1/10th of a second. The intention here was to create some motion blur, while keeping the rocks etc sharp. This almost works for me. I like the upper two-thirds of the shot. But the foreground is a bit too soft. It doesn’t convey motion, it just looks out of focus.
So, what’s the lesson?
Firstly, enjoy the process (of course).
Secondly, experiment with shutter speeds. Or, if you’re properly equipped – with a tripod – do some focus stacking.
