Silver and Silk
Uploaded: December 26, 2006 15:05:05
I stretched my tripod out so I could get as low to the ground as possible then tilted the camera until it matched the top line of the dam. 2.0s at F/22, focal length 75mm, CPL and ND filters. Converted to B&W, a small crop at the top and a little Smart Sharpening after resizing for BP.
This is something I am trying please let me know what you think.

Awesome work Bill, I think the title describes it perfectly. #3742240Arlington Natl Cemetery Tomb Photos December 26, 2006
Hey Bill,I've shot lots of long exposures on moving water, but never thought of of going abstract and tilting the camera. I'll always too busy trying to get it level. Great idea. Great image. I can't see where it could be made better.
