ah but only if i could have got a little closer to the bigger rapids in the middle of the river - astonishing power!

... only this is the point at which everyone gets out of the river. i think i'm right in saying that no-one has survived rafting the lower part of the congo river - i.e., from this point on. it roars.

perhaps I'll skip that particular fall when I next go rafting on the Congo.

The grain really boosts this shots atmosphere, and textures. Love the inclusion of the human silhouettes.

Love the use of slow shutter/small aperture for great depth of field and water movement.. Nice perspective.
Great to see an old film camera still in use and proving that they are still capable of shots like this.

thanks, nigel, much appreciated. not much more than one needs in a camera than an accurate shutter and viewfinder ... good glass, accurate aperture, tripod and hand-held light meter help as well

Amazing shot. The human silhouettes make the shot very interesting and the foreground makes such a wonderful texture. :favlove:
