Description well,i took this photo when i was driving trough my village some weeks ago.i wanted to know how this little river was named,but i couldn't find an anwser to my question,i searched for a nameplate at the river..nothing there.Then i asked some people who lived there hole live near the river so i thought they would now the name..but nobody could tell me.pretty weird
i do know it's about 11 km long and at the end it comes into a bigger river.
i used a darkroom effect because i always wanted to try that , i like the way it turned out.
i used 'corel photosuit 11 - photopaint ' for the colors,magnificant program btw,really nice to work with and feels very professional.

gear: canon 300 digital rebel,a tripod and a frozen finger.

Great shot. The sky, its reflection, river in the middle and trees in the background. Plus the colours, they really suit the scene.
Lovely. +fav

this is incredible. i love the perspective and the color. amazing work i have corel also, but i prefer photoshop. it is a pretty decent program tho.

and yes,photoshop is better then photopaint,but still,the duotones are very effecient and the filter 'sharp' is better then the same filter in photoshop.

drinkinv8 [2005-01-27 17:20:36 +0000 UTC]

nice--the reflection on the water is really fantastic. looks like you really took advantage of the tripod for this one. i also like the areas of sunlight vs shade. i would be very interested to see the original so i could see exactly how powerful this 'corel' is... keep it up.

ps: what is that on the tree (the light spot)? a reflection?? minor detail, but it piqued my curiosity.

love the depth of this photo Stijn.. I think I said that about another of your shots... but these hedgerows are such a marvelous subject for that ... the sepia is very nice too.. I'll have to try that Corel proggy too ...do you have the full ver or shareware? .... sorry about your finger but join the club man
