Gold Rush

Shot somewhere along Oak Creek in Sedona, AZ

Very nice - not what I expected from the title, but the title fits.

Thanks for sharing.

Great shot, great title.

Thanks...it was either that or "Liquid Gold".

Very nice, I love that lighting on the water running over the rocks.

Nice colors in the water Argyle. The only thing that distracts me is the green brush in the top left corner.

I may go back and crop it. TBH, I completely missed it...just don't want to lose too much of the rock in the lower left. It looks like it can be cropped out without cutting into the confluence of water in the foreground, though. Nice catch.

nice ! I wasnt expecting it either.. but you did well on this shot

A+ What was the shutter speed?

EXIF as follows:

Canon 5D2
24-105L
Focal length: 65mm
Aperture: f/16
Shutter: 1/5 sec
ISO: 100

Thanks! I would have guessed a longer exposure!

That is a beautiful scene. Well captured and thanks for sharing!

Not a problem. It really doesn't take an excessively long shutter speed to add some silk to the water. From a visual standpoint, its usually best to have some silk, yet still allow the water to show some movement instead of going totally fuzzy (picture cotton candy). I like to keep some rivulets in the water, so I'll try to keep the shutter under two seconds whenever I can. Then again, its kinda like cooking...season to taste.
