Thanks all. I have to tell you I'm flabbergasted that a picture that doesn't knock you off your feet, or bring to mind postable recollections of when you were there, has elicited this much response. Frankly, I expected it would drift on down with a goose egg in the "Replies" column.
A bit of elaboration on the relationship of this kind of thing to street: When I'd go up to the goldfields around Cripple Creek I never knew what to expect either. But once I saw something worth shooting I'd have time to set up a tripod and frame carefully before I'd shoot. Walking the Palatlakaha river at dawn isn't like that. The sunlight is changing rapidly. I had maybe two minutes at the most to frame this picture and shoot it before the sun moved too far. That's a lot longer than you get on the street, but it's not long enough to let you stand there deliberating alternatives.
Bob, I go by that spot every time I walk the river in the morning, but it's never the same twice. I shot something similar to this a couple times, but I wasn't satisfied with those attempts. On this morning both the vegetation and the light were right.
Welcome to LuLa, David. Looks as if that's your very first post. I'm honored. And Stefan, I see that you're pretty new too. So, welcome. I think you guys will enjoy LuLa.
