Just A Little Bridge | Info + Comments (14)

Another one from my trip to Cornwall.

I took this at Porth Nanven at St.Just. The wind was very strong on that day and the weather was changing constantly, often to the worse though.

I'm quiet happy with this one. The light on that afternoon/evening wasn't very nice, but just about the right time a little gap in the clouds showed appeared to give me some more interesting sky and at the same time the sun was "softboxed" by another cloud. This happened a few times which gave me the possibility to try out three different compositions along this river from which this is best one as the composition is the strongest and just enough of a slow shutter speed to capture the movement in the water. Standing with one leg in the river, I was able to get the boldest composition.

A little more info and some more images from that day you can find on in this little article on my blog.

I'm sending this one off to the lab today and look forward to see this framed on my wall.

In terms of processing this image hasn't seen much. Some small adjustment in Lightroom with some finishing touches in PS. I do so little in PS sometimes, that I actually wonder if I could achieve the same result with some effort in LR.

I hope you like it and thanks for visiting.

Nice composition, and I love the effect the long exposure has had on the water.

Toll. Fließendes Wasser mag ich sehr. Leider gibts hier in der Gegend nicht allzu viel davon, bis auf ein paar Bäche im Schwarzwald.
