The Flow | Info + Comments (30)

Before writing anything about this image, I would like to wish all my visitors a Happy New Year and thank everyone a lot for voting for my blog for the Photoblogawards, due to which, this little blog of mine made it into the finals in the category of Landscapes! This is highly appreciated. I hope my upcoming work will keep up with this.


After two months of desperately bad weather it finally changed and I had the chance to go out shooting again. What a relief! I had the chance to go out already the day before christmas, but that shooting ended abruptly due to the fact that I cracked into the ice and got myself some very wet feet, which is not really what I like at something like minus 10 degrees. Luckily today it turned out better.


It came all together quiet nicely. We had good light, the moon was just rising and me and a friend drove out to Koitelinkoski again to get some images. There were quiet many photographers out there at the current temperature of minus 17 degrees and at the end we had a nice coffee at the fire. Wouldn't it be nice, if it could be like this every day?!


This is a panorama stitched together out of six different shots, processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. Photoshop is doing a fantastic job with stitching these images together. Almost like magic. I actually cropped a little out of it, to get a panoramic format of 1:3. I totally dig this format, and will experiment more with it in the future.


I hope you like it and thanks for visiting.

A beautiful scene. Something I probably won't see since you won't catch me out in minus 17 degree weather. :-)

This is a fantastic shot. I just had to leave a comment. I love nice landscapes.

I am jealous as I don't have access to such a stunning location in the southern part of the UK!

Great image with a great perspective up the river. Did you HDR this as well? If you did, how'd you do both HDR and panorama?

p.s. I'm liking the new layout, too

Magnifique image, d'une grande sauvagerie.

Impressive panorama - no obvious seams even with the moving water. The color processing is beautiful. Nice work!

This is wonderful. Great tonal range and crisp.

Happy New Year to you.

Great angle. The eye just follows the water up the stream so naturally.

I'm really impressed!! I am a beginner in pixyblog, and I wonder how did you manage to post a picture with this width, wich is far more large than the usual pixyblog's pictures width.

Great work! I gather you used a tripod to create the images. Photoshop never cease to amaze me. Your work is excellent and the place in the finals is certainly deserved. Congratulations and happy new year to you too :-)
