Show Us: Running Water

[JimbobJimbo]

Here's one of a fountain I took on our recent trip to Charleston, SC

...and now for something completely different...

It's running water, no?

OMG.... So true, LOL... funny!

 

[TheLionKing]

Maybe a little out of place.... but it is moving water.

f/11
1/5 second
ISO 50

Not out of place, TheLionKing. Can you tell us more about the shot?

Not out of place, TheLionKing. Can you tell us more about the shot?

Sure. It is an ocean wave, probably about 2 foot face, approaching the beach. I pan with the motion during the 1/5 second shutter speed. This was taken around sunrise in Santa Barbara, California.

From Disneyland...

Where is this at Disneyland? I have never been, but will be going in August?

Thanks!

ReAnSt: IIRC, the King Triton statue is right next to the castle, on a side walkway... to the right I think? I'm sure NostalgicDad can tell you off the top of his head.

Can you tell us what your camera settings are?

Sure thing. That was taken with my 31mm F1.8 lens, ISO 200 (probably because I had dynamic range enhancement on), F16, 10 seconds, +1/2 exposure compensation, aperture priority mode. Taken from a tripod, of course. I usually don't use anything as high as F16 but I think I was trying to go for a longer shutter speed to smooth out the water (I don't think I even thought about the windmill spinning in the background! a happy accident). My only regret is that I'm still not happy with the color of the rocks... but I just couldn't get anything satisfactory without throwing the entire background (which is lit by different color temperature lights) out of whack, so I eventually just went with what you see.

BTW, I always have my exif data attached to my shots, so you can see it right from the picture itself. If you have Firefox (and if you don't, you should ), grab the Fxif add-on. If you use IE, grab the Opanda Exif Viewer (there may be others too, but I don't use IE so I'm not sure). These let you right-click a photo on a web page and you'll see the exif data.

ReAnSt........Groucho is right about the location. If you are facing the castle, it's to the right sort of behind some trees. There is a walkway directly in front of the statue and there is an Ariel statue on the opposite side of that walkway. There is another pathway that goes behind the pool of water and goes into TomorrowLand. Here's another perspective of that area........

And here's the Ariel statue that includes more running water just to stay on topic. (It's tough to get that silky water effect in bright, mid-day sunlight so pardon the overexposed areas )

 

[Groucho]

Hey, I was right about the location!

But I didn't know there was an Ariel statue on the other side - I woulda taken that shot instead if I had known. Now if only they could have a water splash and a little "bounce" for her it'd match the movie perfectly.

Guess that's something to remember for the next trip...

I did a little test the other day. I went to a local river and photographed it at 6pm when the light was still a bit too much to really slow down the shutter, then I went back at 8pm then the light was real low so I could slow it down to whatever I wanted basically. The scene was pretty much the same for each (other than landscape vs portrait photos) but the results are entirely different. The photos won't WOW you to death, but I liked the results anyways. The river is slightly affected by the tide so the water had risen a bit, I like how at 8pm it liooks like ice.

6pm:

8pm:

Taken on a VERY sunny day, hand-held and with mucho playing around with the raw image. This is the reason you take raw images. LOL

This is a park near my house.

Groucho said: If you have Firefox (and if you don't, you should ), grab the Fxif add-on

Just a note about that add-on, it does work if you are using the 3.0.5 beta FireFox. Many of the add-ons do not yet work with this version.

Not the best, but here's some of mine:

Epcot, Mexico Pavillion


Animal Kingdom, Pangani Trail

And this one was kind-of an accident... the Breathless II drove thru while I was attempting to get pics of the Studios from a distance

Here's the backside of water, from the Jungle Cruise.

Such lovely shots. Thank you, Groucho for posting how you got that stunning picture. Would anyone else be willing to share?

They're nothing compared to the others on this thread, but here are my contributions! They were all taken at AK:

 

[Dcanoli]

Wow...this thread had gotten buried....


Here we go, to get it up to the top again:
