Feb Project - Quiet Moment
I made this photo last year at Stow Lake. One second exposure with a 300mm lens on Kodak Tri-X film.
We are a small group of friends with a common love of photography. We hope to enjoy each others' work and to broaden our knowledge of photography and to stimulate our creativity by sharing our work and ideas here. Please invite your friends to stop by. If you are interested in becoming a photo contributor, please send me an email. --Warren

Nice one, Martin! Your subjects cooperated by keeping still for your 1 sec. exposure.
By the way, are you going to the Chinese New Year Parade this year? You can reprise your Gum Lung (golden dragon) picture :).
Gail and I will be there to see the parade this year because we know someone who will be in the parade. There should be some good photo ops in Chinatown that day.

Martin,
Was this picture conceived and pre-planned before you went out there to shoot it? Or did you bring your 300mm w/tripod that day to see what was out there to shoot? Did you know that couple in the picture?
I just want to get into your head a little to understand your picture making process.
It's interesting that some of these people would probably really appreciate some of these pictures that we're taking of them. On a previous picture that I posted here of a couple of friends in Sausalito, I got one of their email addreses, and I sent that picture to them.

One more thing... this setting/composition would make a beautiful wedding picture. I wonder if any of our local wedding photogs did this yet.
This image here would make a great, casual, "engagement" shot.
I'm filing this one for "future reference" :)

I originally intended to do a photo of the water fall with a time exposure and to let people in the photo blur. What happened was that the effect I was after needed an exposure of one second or one-half second exposure. Most people walking across the frame didn't show up on the frame, there were moving too fast. Fortunately this couple stood together for a few seconds. If you were to stage this for a picture, you would need an assistant and a radio or cell phone as the distance from the camera is about 200 feet.
There's also a bit of dodging, burning and sharpening which isn't too noticable.
Hey Warren, this reminds me of the photo at your home with you and Gail by a waterfall.
Very nice, Martin.

Eric, I had the same thought. The one of us was taken at a different waterfall in the park.
