Cool Green Waters [Contest Finalists June 2003]
Uploaded: June 25, 2003 00:09:59
Took this mid-morning shot on the way to Spruce Knob recently. The light reflecting from the trees seemed to turn the surface of the water green.

Thanks again Birdie - again - I'm quite stunned! #135923Terry McCully July 07, 2003
Gary, I have no idea how I missed this one first time around...I'm trying this blurr effect on my own right now..You did a great job here!..Love the smooth water! #135971Gary W. Lake July 07, 2003
Thanks Terry - I think it's impossible to see them all. Every time the finalists come out I see all kinds of shots I missed during the month! I love shooting running water. I used both a neutral density filter and a polarizing filter on this one, plus it was actually pretty dimly lit because the forest canopy was so thick, but the slow shutter speed gives it a lot of light. This was a 30 second exposure. #136069Dick van Breda July 07, 2003
I missed this one too, Gary. I have count 4 photo's now. It's great. Congratulations again. Greetings, Dick #136175Gary W. Lake July 07, 2003
Thank you Dick! #136178LJ Corliss July 07, 2003
Congrats to you :) #136364Gary W. Lake July 07, 2003
Thanks again LJ! #136552Cathy Barrows July 07, 2003
congrats...it must of been very dark...i have trouble not getting hotspots when I use a 6nd and a polarizer #136593Gary W. Lake July 07, 2003
Thanks again Cathy. It was indeed dark. Even so I still got some washed out spots right at the bottom of the little rapids but it didn't really seem to hurt the image. I kind of like the effect actually, as long as it's not too distracting. #136674Dolores Neilson July 07, 2003
