Bad Kissingen
The waterfall Devil's Mill in the german Rhön isn't easy to photograph. There's to much stones, branches cluttering the area so that it's hard to find a clean composition. This here's the best I could come up with.
I had to go for bw and some contrast reductions to get a cleaner look here. After all the water should be the focus here.
I used a polarizer and a lee 0.9 ND to get a good exposure.
PS: there are still a lot Seychelle photos in line but I wanted to provide a little change in between :-)
cheers
At last here's a photo from Germany again. I have still some seascapes from Portugal but I thought I need to get out soon to take some other photos so you're not completely bored ;-)
This weekend I went visiting my parents and I took the opportunity to do some hiking in the Rhön, the middle german highlands. I found this tree through google and flickr and on friday evening I went there to do some scouting. The next morning I got up 5am and went up there again. The conditions were nice, there was still hoar frost on the grasses and it was such a quiet morning.
In the background you see the first light of the sun lightening up the valley which I wanted to capture. With the chilly foreground I think this is a nice contrast. Hope you like it. Next photo will be a seascape again I think.
Details about the shot: Lee 0.6 hard grad, Hoya hd pol, 2 exposures focusstacked for sharpness
cheers
