Silent River Run

[BlackRockArt]

Hi Y'all

I can not remember how many times I have walked on the Swinging Bridge, like the old saying: you can not walk into the same river twice. The view is always changing by the season, the people, time of the day.

This shot was taken a few weeks ago when the snow just stopped, instead of the usual clear air, the valley was filled with mid level fog. I was mesmerized by the moon-lit valley views, driving around and stop at every possible turn, I took picture after picture. I wish the fog stayed a bit longer.

Enjoy.

I love the mood created here and the two swirls of water in the river add a touch of mystery to the scene as well. Very nice.

The light and the shadows are wonderful Oliver - glad you wandered around for comps like this. Sometimes fog can be your friend and this is a great example.

Nice moody image. Has a look of film with the grain - was it added in post?

Nice work with the light and shadows in this one, Oliver.

Bob, thanks, the swirls of water were caused by the broken small ice, I didn't even see it untill the files were downloaded onto the computer.

Thanks, Alan. It was a memorable night. I wish I could captured it better.

Ben, thanks.

Jameel, thanks. I used to shoot Agfa with my Rolleiflex before going digital, so when the fog rolled around, it reminded me the grain of the films days; I added the grain in the post process.

Kurt, thank you, the near full cast strong shadows onto the trees, it was more impressive than I captured.

Jim, Swining Bridge is a popular spot, I always stop there.

Thanks Pepper.
