Scenes from Panuke Lake, Nova Scotia

[Marko]

Lovely set Iggy! Might have a suggestion for shot 1 if you'll indulge me.
Shot might also look way cool as a square or more squarish/squarer cutting off most of the left side (perhaps .5 to 1 inch from the 2 fiddleheads). Personally i find the reddish left side battling the 2 main fiddleheads for my attention. just a thought.

Thanks, Marko. I should trust my instincts more. I agree completely with what you were talking about but never did it because I always try to keep that 3x2 aspect ratio. I try to push myself to get it right in frame so when I crop I try to maintain the aspect ratio so I'll do it right next time. I wish I had spent more time framing this one on site.

Nice set indeed, Iggy. Love the falls and the fiddle head. I find fishing with a camera much more rewarding than with a pole. Once you eat the fish, it's gone, but the images live forever.

Thanks, Matt.

Nice set there Iggy! I like that first one.

Thanks, aubintbay.

Amazing nature-themed photos. It is such a good scenery. I like the Halls Falls photo which creates a magical illusion of something.

Very nice set Iggy. Really like the Christmas Fern, and the mound of Rock Caps in the second shot.
Love this time of year when the forest is covered with these and everything looks more fresh than any other time of year. These are actually making me hungry. We have a forest full of the very edible Ostrich Ferns. Also, the Cat-tails will be fresh for eating, along with Morels, Wild asparagus, Wild Leeks, Ginger, Marigolds, etc. etc. Time for a walk in the woods.

Thanks, John.

Thanks, HBG. I guess I'm more used to getting my food from the grocery store

Nice set Iggy.
That first shot of the fiddleheads reminds me of when I was young (many, many years ago), my mom would cook fiddleheads as part of dinner. I assume this is what she was cooking.
As for the falls, how long an exposure was that picture. Did you use an ND filter.

mmm love fiddleheads but don't have enough confidence to pick them- I buy them at the market.
Great shots Iggy!

I used my nifty-fifty (50mm f1.8 prime) @ f22 on ISO 100 with an ND8 filter giving me an exposure time of 1 second.

Thanks, Bambi

Thanks Iggy. I just ordered an ND8 filter (they didn't have one at the store). I want to try some of these long exposures of falls. Now I have an idea of the length of exposure.
