Bend in The River

[CNelson]

I took this picture last May...I was camping on the ranch I grew up on. It rained on us every day which isn't fun for camping but I still managed a few nice shots during the trip. I like this shot because it's my favorite camping spot and where I fished as a kid. It was sunset, sun already down but color in the sky and moody clouds.

[CNelson]

Where is it?

Thank you Donald and Stinky. It's is in Siskiyou County, northern California.

I really like this one as well Chuck, may I ask was it a single exposure? or a blend of 3 in post processing?

[CNelson]

Thank you Kay...it's a single shot. I wonder how it would have looked if I had done an HDR....I might have been able to pull even more detail out of the sky.

all the more meritorious - perfect in 1 exposure

This is a real "gasper"!

This is lovely -- just gorgeous.

Very nice shot, i like the clouds, it looks like HDR....

[CNelson]

Thanks for the kind words all. This location is full of memories for me and it's nice to have an image that captures some of them.

Indeed, a wonderful image. But, sorry to say, this is also one where the signature really bugs me: the shape of the river always leads the eye to it, giving it way too much importance.

[CNelson]

Apologies Remco....the logo comes from my website where the image is linked. I do it to provide a measure of protection because I like to allow the image to be viewed in a quite large size on my website. In slide show mode it's full screen. I have developed the ability to almost see through the logo as if it weren't there but I recognize it bothers some.

I can see why you like going back there. What a reat spot to grow up.
