Processing applied: The Sigma 18-50mm 3.5-5.6 was the lense of choice for this project. I had to shoot through a chain link fence and stitch the pictures together with Olympus Master 1.4 because of the free stitch function available. Using the lense at it's widest setting would capture the fence and ruin images so I used the lense at 30mm (60mm) and stitched the panorama.

From someone who lives in a warm climate, this image is very surreal. Great effort on the capture and stitching. I think the black and white gives it just the right 'cold' effect.

Nice motion + frozen juxtaposition

I like the longer shutter to get the motion blur of the water fall coupled with frozen in time ice to the right.

Thank you.

I went there with the specific idea of the long exposure not thinking of a shorter one. I should have taken some of both. My friends only took short exposures and I liked some of their results too. The frozen movement of the water would have added a completely different visual freeze to the scene.

I liked the contrast of the white on the right opposite the black of the river as well. If you look at my other pictures in my files you'll see what the falls looks like in warmer weather.
