Waterscapes

Great shots everyone and a well deserved front page to you Edward.

November is not exactly the most inspirational time of the year where I live, but went for a walk this morning. Taking picture of flowing water is in my view quite difficult. Either you use a very fast shutter speed to freeze the water or you allow the water to smooth out, with a slower shutter speed. But if you let it smooth too much, then there is no life left. So I tried to balance that.

1DX, 24 TS-E f3.5L II, f16, ISO50, 0,3s

So well done Eldar, it's a wonderful Lens, but you have to know how best to use it to get the best out of it, you've done that here, lovely Image. Have to say I've never used my 17 &24 TSE on the 1Dx, always on the 5DMK III, must give it a try.

Thanks Serendipidy. Someone asked me if it was a HDR shot. But I have only made minor changes in shadow, sharpness and saturation, plus lifting white a little bit. I love this lens!

Thanks Edward, they are very fun lenses to work with. And, as in this case, where I can use all the pixels the 1DX can offer and avoid cropping, I have all the resolution I need.
