Song Frozen in Time<\/p><\/div>\n

Continuing the theme from yesterday, here is no\u00a0apology water frozen by the shutter image. I am always amazed at what gravity, rocks, and light can do with this peaty water. You could take a thousand pics, and no two would catch the same forms, the same play of light, the same energy. This, to me, is a high energy shot.<\/p>\n

The trick with a shot like this, where you have such a wide range of light values, is, of course, to get the exposure right. I used heavy Exposure Compensation and underexposed to save the highlights, and then brought the shadow back up in Lightroom when I post-processed. The net effect is very like what I saw, and what I visualized in the field.<\/p>\n

Sony DSC H50 at about 80mm equivalent. F5.6 @ 1\/1000th @ ISO 100. Programed auto with -1.7 EV exposure compensation.<\/p>\n

In Lightroom, heavy Recovery for the highlights. Fairly heavy Fill Light for the shadows. Added Clarity and Vibrance and Landscape sharpen preset.<\/p>\n
