My previous photo with the tail end of a rainbow was actually a quick shot. I had been concentrating my efforts on this composition and waited for the light. Here is when some vivid orange colours peaked in the clouds. It didn't last long but I was ready for it.

Enjoy!





Sony A7R, Contax Zeiss 18/4, FotodioX Vizelex ND Throttle

Hey Scott,

Preparation is a huge key to success, and you nailed it here. Love the stepping stones.

Beautiful work. The composition is excellent and the colors are exquisite.

If you don't mind the question, where are you in relation to the image? Are you in the water or using a medium telephoto lens for the composition? If you're in the water, how deep was it?

I think you balanced the silky feel of the water by longish exposure with relatively sharp static clouds.
As mentioned, great comp with stepping stones and sweet light.

Thank you Max!

I was sitting on a large rock. Had to rock hop my way to this spot as I wasn't wearing rubber boots or hip-waders. The water was maybe 2ft deep at this spot. This was photorgraphed with a Sony A7R and Contax Zeiss 18/4 lens using a FotodioX Vizelex ND Throttle adapter for long exposure.

You're welcome. Here is another new product with auto focus and what looks like a better gripped adjustment ring.

Cool stuff here. I see what you were going for with the comp but the lines of the rock lead my eye off the page to the right, which tends to be a big no no as we want us to land and stay visually with the piece. Just a thought and way to be ready for that. I know it's hard to sit still sometimes when the light is firing

Although it can happen rarely, very few quality landscapes occur without some planning and visualization.

Excellent image!
