Croton Gorge Dam, Croton, NY, with D4 Geared Head

Lee Big Stopper, 30 second exposure at f16, ISO 100,

C&C appreciated:

I thought we agreed that you would capture me swimming across! But noooo...you had to get all fancy-schmancy with your camera.

Nice going!

Lovely capture! You needed a big stopper for this shot to achieve 30 seconds? Was it that bright out? I guess if it was that bright it could've been from the bright snow?

It was mid morning approaching high noon so yes, fairly bright. Sky behind was blue with nice white clouds, over dam a dull gray unfortunately.

At f/32 with the 70-200, ISO 200, the slowest shutter speed I could get without blowing out the highlights was about 1/3 second. 10 stop big stopper, 30 seconds.

nicely done...great mood and well cold here

Well done.

Very nice shot.

Agreed, it's a very nice shot. Well composed and interesting to look at.
