I’m embarrassed to admit how long its been since I’ve blogged on this site. No excuses…life has just been busy. In February we lost our beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Brady. His passing was very traumatic for me and my family and we were heartbroken. Brady was a very special dog and will live in […]
As a photographer there’s always so much to do. There never seems to be enough time in the day to accomplish everything I want to accomplish. As I’ve been doing more and more studio sessions I’ve been determined to actually photographer my own boys. The problem was their schedule was harder to work around than […]
My photographic muse is my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Brady. This boy is so sweet and loving and while he’s not a fan of having his picture taken there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for a treat ;). This past weekend I decided I needed some new pictures of Brady and having just purchased a new […]
Oh Edith, I just love this photo! It has a little bit of everything – colour, texture, drama. It’s wonderful!

I could have sworn I left a comment here. Sorry, Edith. This image I just fall into. I love the way the water lights up on the rocks so you have taken this with slow shutter speeds. Oh to be there in person as you were. *sigh* Maybe next life? I just caught the comment about the ND filter. I just bought an ND400 with Niagara Falls in mind. Now I must rethink things, find some water and try this baby out! Thank you for posting this!!! It brought memories of when I stood on a dirt road in Italy, looking out over the water at a village that was built right into the cliff. I don’t think I have ever seen anything quite like that until I saw your image. Too bad I was not into photography then as I am now. What I would give to go back! LOL (((HUGS))) Amy

Thanks Amy. I love my 10-stop ND filter. I actually took quite a few shots to get the water just right. The waves were crashing in and I wanted to get the water receding back so had to be very careful with my timing.

I believe the ND400 is 9-10 stop filter and I know what you mean about timing. This is what I do with waterfalls. I concentrate my full attention to one area which I have focused on, kind of get a feel for the rhythm and as I see what I have been expecting, click, I depress that shutter immediately. It’s all in the timing. And a good eye. You have both!!! Incredible image!!! Thank you again!!! xx Amy

It’s not just the waves, my Dear Edith, those little water falls, (result of the waves?), those cliff like rocks, tho green and lovely slope and the beautiful and colourful buildings, all worth time and effort. Thanks for capturing and presenting these to us. 🙂

not knowing much (anything) about filters, what does this one do (besides the look of the water). The colors of the houses stand out so well against that sky.

Laurie, I used a 10 stop neural density filter. This filter blocks out the amount of light that enters the camera by 10 stops. It allows you to do long exposures during the day. The filter itself is very dark so you won’t be able to see out of your viewfinder once you have the filter on. I set up my shot first, figure out the exposure I need and then put the filter on and take the shot.
