Well, the photo isnt remarkable and the slow speed is barely noticeble but from the lighting i would say it is morning or sunset and a very beautiful one. Im sure that you could have taken a great shot if you werent so worried avout capturing the river flow in slow shutter speed. I Could be absolutely wrong of course.

I like your image. T = 1/20 is a nice shutter speed here as it brings out the best in both movement and blurr in the water -- without (handheld) being too hard on sharpness. HOwever, T = 1/50 is as low as I would dare go -- and that does not always work without a tripod.

I have been trying to shoot the Canadian landscape in color too! I find that I feel most excited in Spring, Winter and Autumn. I have my most trouble in summer, partly becasue of the strong greeen/gray/blue/brown tones. Things only picked up when I included a loon or a heron, etc.

I hope you can post more, 'cause Canada sure has a lot of great scenery to share.

PS

I know Rawdon well as we'd pass it on our way North to Sixteen Island Lake some 60 years ago. On those occasions we'd have dropped the e-engine at St Eustache and picked up two steam engines that could make the "grades" through the mountians. "Alas", all these old routes have been recycled for bicycles!
