Jardin botanique de Montréal Photo

Photographers Note

Belle journée chaude et humide aujourd'hui.
Une promenade au jardin botanique s'imposait pour ses coins frais,ses belles visions et surtout ses bonnes odeurs.Au menu,parfums des lilas,des azalées,des pivoines ainsi que des iris entre autres.
Cette chute se trouve dans le jardin alpin.
Comme nous étions en plein aprčs-midi,sous un soleil de plomb,j'ai utilisé tous mes filtres ND que j'ai ŕ ma disposition(soit ND2,4 et8X)superposé plus le polarisateur pour réussir ŕ obtenir un temps d'exposition de 1.5sec.

Welcome to the Montreal botanical garden.
Today is a hot and muggy day,so all the shaded spot were welcome.
Lots of beautiful sights,but mostly the perfume were overwhelming,coming from the azales,the lilacs,the peonies,the irises and more.It was sublime.
This fall is in the alpine garden.
This picture was taken in mid afternoon under a blazing sun.To obtain an exposure time of 1.5sec,I had to use my polarizer and 3ND superposed filters(the 2,4and8X).
Hope you enjoy it.Your comments are always welcome.

Hi Charles,
sous un format bien choisi et un cadrage adéquat, tu nous propose cette charmante petite chute d'eau.
Les couleurs sont trčs jolies et demeurées naturelles, on aime toujours cet effet d'étirement de l'eau qui coule.
Bien ŕ toi.
Daniel.

very lovely garden, charles
excellent capture
very good angle and composition
I like the soft water falling

Wooow, not a bad shot at all, considering the amount of light you had to deal with, Charles. But you cleverly used filters to get a desired result and the outcome is more than pleasant!
Very realistic and natural colours!
Well done,
Robi

Very lovely composition. the falls make nice lines that lead the eye around and contrast nicely with the darker foliage. I like!

A peaceful scene, well rendered. Although the sky is rather washed, the beauty of this spot is well portrayed, as well as its peacefulness. The water is especially well done here, Charles. The brown and green tones blend well for a prosaic ambience...Nicely done. Regards from the west coast. John.

Lovely place. the Water cascade is heavenly! I could hear the sound of falls in this picture

Hi Charles. You sure made great use of the ND filters and did well with the long exposure. I don't mind the sky being burned out in favor of the flow in the water. That's one advantage of a DSLR being able to go to f24 or even higher to reduce the need for a ND filter, although I did just buy one. Nice one from the Montreal Botanical Garden!

Bonjour Charles,
Belle réalisation, le jeu d'ombres et de lumičre valorise le panorama. Bel effet avec les fleurs (nettent) en avant-plan et surtout bravo pour l'effet flou de la cascade. Bravo pour ce travail.

Hi Charles, A nice shot. I like the long exposure to smooth out the moving water. You have used the filter wisely to have the long exposure while the scenery is showing beautifully in the picture. A well taken picture with sharpness and depth.

Photo trčs nette, Charles. Bien vu de prendre aussi les fleurs mauves et blancs.

Hi Charles,
you did a very beautiful composition and effect in this waterfall. The time exposure was perfect to get the water movement.
Maybe the central zone of the sky is little bit too bright, but it is very difficult to capture the perfect light in all the scene with 1.5s. and with the sunlight. Very good work. Congratulations.
Best regards.
Jaume

Belle composition en plein jour Charles, l'effet sur la chute bien réussi. Un peu plus rafraîchissent qu'une journée au Grand Prix j'imagine !! J'aime bien la présentation, l'avant-plan, trčs belle clarté, bravo.

Hi Charles,

Hello Charles,
Could be a little overexposed the sky but is the momment and not the person that take the shot. It's a picture against light conditions and for me is very well captured. No necessary WS because is also a difficult way to share or say something. Good contrast, sharpness and you got it in a great way.

Very well composed, framed and seen!

Best to you.
Fernando

C'est un beau travail sur cette cascade, avec une lumičre excellente.
Beaucoup de finesse et de douceur dans ce "monde de brutes" :))
Compliments

Bonsoir Charles,
et bien ça valait le coup de visser tous ces filtres, l'effect sur la cascadde est excellent.
Le 1e plan avec les fleurs est bien vu, il ajoute de la profondeur.
Une belle image

Hi, Charles!

Regards,

Salut Charles.
Absolument merveilleux. Choix judicieux de la vitesse d'obturation pour créer ces beaux filets d'eau mais juste assez pour ne pas cacher les rochers que l'on voit męme au travers.

This is sure pretty! Wish I was sitting there with a good book :) Thanks for your note. In future maybe it will help me out with waterfalls.
