Description Well people here we are… my last picture to be submitted until I get my films (6!!) developed this after noon.

I’ve been saving this one for last due to the fact that I really really LOVE this shot more than just about all the others put together

I know it proberly looks like a thousand others on this site, but I don’t care, I love it and thought that sharing it may by a nice way of saying thank you to all you out there.

This was once again taken down in the Catlins while I was on my trip down there, it was late afternoon and I couldn’t use my tripod (it was too big to fit on the walking bridge (it would’ve blocked it) I used the side railing and my hand to steady the camera, as you can see I did slow the camera down and yeah I got it pretty much how I wanted it

Camera - Minolta Dynax 404si
Lens - Minolta AF 35-80
Film - Kodak 200 24exp


Once again if you could full view it, that would be great. All comments are loved and well taken care of, before they are let back out into that big bad world

Um, good question, mostly I just take my camera every where I go. I play with the settings a lot and have a filter or two with a couple of different lenses. Mostly I'm just using the little I know and luck (lots of luck).... It also helps that I live in a great country I think

Heh, all bets on chill factor are off if you're trying to count internal warmth.

Besides, you took your jacket with you, and I'm thinking you did that because it was bloody cold

I wanted the stream to be a foggy misty thing, but to get that would have required a ND filter which I don't yet have

Well its a neutral denisty filter it cuts out a lot of light so you can take longer exposures during the day have a look on the net and they can explain it better
