Do you think the sky and water is too smooth?

 

[merlin]

Very interesting shot, Glenn. Did you use ND filters? Or ???

 

[JakeEbersole]

Wow! I really like this Glenn!

Mebbe it's just the perspective, but to me the horizon looks tilted slightly.

Other than that, I can totally dig it.

I sometimes like the effect of very long exposures on the water and sky--but I know many others who don't care for the look.

Yes...it was a 16 stop ND filter!

Thanks...it'a kind of bothering me, too. I think it's because of how the shore cuts into the water more on the right, but I may try to "fix" it anyway.

I wouldn't hesitate to do so. Skewing the image ever so slightly would be an easy fix.

Slight tilt aside, it's a super shot Glenn!

Excellent picture Glenn. It can't be easy to get such a good composition out of a scene like that, but you make it look easy. Very nice!

+Wow, I like it... Is it a pano...?

Thanks! This is a single frame...thankfully the D800 created a file that's more than 7,000 pixels across. Otherwise, I'm looking at creating five or six exposures (at 4 minutes a piece) for stitching.

great shot Glenn. Is that the convention center on the right? I was there for a trade show last summer but never got to see it from that perspective.

 

[Palouse]

Stunning. Fine art for sure, and I do like it.

Thanks Dave...yes, that's the convention center.

Thanks! The long exposure sometimes gives it that fine art look!
