Rocky Mountain National Park 5

[sparker1]

Glacier Creek is but one of many streams in RMNP, but it does offer many photo opportunities of its numerous cascades. Here are two shots of the same spot, one with fast shutter, the other with slow shutter.

Two more shots of Glacier Creek, one fast shutter, one slow.

Slow all the way! The firsrt set is a perfect location with great color. Good Job.

Great Shots! as usual Stan. Thanks for posting. I myself am partial to the "fast" shutter. I just don't care much for the "smooth" water, it feels too "fake" to me...sort of like image manipulation/post processing. Guess I'm just a "natural" guy. :)

Keep up the great work, wish I had your job! I'm off to work now.

Oh wow! That second one is fantastic! The only thing I might touch up a bit before I printed it would be to try to fix the brightness of that one flower closest to the bottom of the frame. It seems a little overbright and draws my eyes to it.

Thats a gorgeous pictures, the colors and composition are fantastic. Great job!

Great shots!

Would you be able to post the exif info for both sets of shots?

[cfcRebel]

I like both versions of the shots! Each effect gives a different feeling. Another great job Stan!

That slow shutter grabs me every time! Nice work.

Thanks everyone.

Becca, the bright spot is simple overexposure, all detail blown. Short of cropping, which would ruin the composition, I can't figure out how to deal with it.

witchy, all shots were taken with the 10-22 mm lens. The first two were both at 10 mm, ISO 100. The first was f4.5, 1/25 second. The second at f22, 1 second exposure. The second pair were both at 15 mm, ISO 100. The first at f4, 1/30 sec. The second one at f18, .6 sec.

Thanks for that sparker1, I like the slow ones the best and I'm gonna try it myself next time I get the chance :)

Stan - I like them all. The comp of the first pair is my favorite, but it looks like a tough exposure. Maybe a little shadow/highlight to bring out the shadows a little. I wanted to do more creeks when I was up there but creeks and rivers are a completely different thought process than landscapes to me, and I couldn't seem to take my attention away from the mountains. It would be interesting to see a bracket of a shot like this and try combining with either HDR or manually combining by using layers. I have a script for PSP that does a pretty fair job of this, but only works with two layers, still I think a person could easily do the same in PS. If you want more details I could send it along to you.
