I RATHER BE LUCKY THAN GOOD! I love this image, probably my favorite so far from the ones I've scanned from the NC trip, and it was an accident . I had to wait for the wind to stop moving the beautiful, little yellow tree to the right of the falls so all the leaves in the rest of the image wouldn’t show blurs with the 2-second exposure. I used it as my wind telltale. So, I waited, and waited, and waited….. It must have been close to five minutes before that little tree stopped moving. When it did I immediately pressed the shutter and made the exposure. I was concentrating on that thing so hard that I didn’t notice that a cloud had blown overhead and now my exposure was about 1.5 stops to the dark. But lo and behold, it is beautifully dark. I cropped it to a 1:1 ratio. Better lucky than good is all I have to say….. Ebony SV45-ti - Schneider 80mm XL - Polarizer - Velvia 50 - 2-seconds @ F22.3 564-Velvia50-V001-VSP-1to1-960T.jpg
