Heres my first entry. Not as grand a waterfall as the one Simon posted. Just a shot of the stream that runs through our backyard. And the flowing water would be representing the "liguid motions", while the ice could represent the opposite i guess....bla bla... #:oP

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Wow now that is a really spectacular image Andreas. You have 3 forms of water there: snow, ice and liquid. I just love the shapes and the movement from the flowing water through to the curvy ice and angular snow flakes.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Very beautiful images Zacko. Did you use some type of density filter or such? I did a little experimentation and coudn't slow the shutter speed enough to get this effect. Help!

LostPatrol posted Wed, 01 March 2006 at 5:47 PM

What camera have you got Fuzzy? Not knowing that the best I can offer as advice for now, is that if you are getting too much light, shoot early morning or late afternoon. Use a polarizer and or ND filters to further reduce the light. if your camera hasnt got a real slow shutter, it is more difficult to get the effect, one thing that you can do, is choose a water scene with fast flowing water, a shutter of 1/15 may be slow enough in the right conditions.

OK...you live in Sweeedeeen..one advantage to have such nature somewhere in the vicinity. Second...who can enter now! These are just lovely and appreciated.. Yikes, go bow my head somewhere. No ice or snow here...mountains some miles away..oh well, will come up with something. Tom.

FuzzyShadows posted Wed, 01 March 2006 at 9:45 PM

LP, I got a Nikon D70s, so I'm sure its not the camera (which leaves me as the culprit). I never thought of using the polarizer filter I have. I guess I had my mind set on it being used for reflections. As for the time of day, it definitely was noonish, so the light was the strongest. Thanks for the tips. I'll be ready for the next trip for sure!

You get a break today for posting so many images in the challenge thread coz it is sort of your special day....LOL..Added to Challenge page

Zacko posted Thu, 02 March 2006 at 12:14 AM

LOL@Dough. Thanks guys. @ Fuzzy....yes i used a ND-filter. ND4 i think....and then i also activated the pre-built-in-filter on my camera. Good luck. #:O)

These pictures are fantastic. I love how the speed of the shot made the water look like it has fog on top of it.

Beeeeautiful water and ice shots Andreas. This inspires me to try some macros around the icey streams if I get back to them before it all melts. :-) Thank you for the tips too!! Excellent...as always! ;-)
