Bridge over the Dechutes River
Feb 23, 2020 15:55:08 #
I've posted another view of the Dechutes River, in Tumwater, Wa. But instead of converting to black & white, the colors are simply too nice. However, to be honest, the clouds were copied from a photo in Arizona and pasted into this photo with the help of Luminar 4. If left alone, the blank soft blue sky was terribly boring. So, after lots of minor adjustments to the rest of the photo and some cropping, this popped out. I also used a 10 stop ND filter to enhance the softness of the river flow. I forget how long the exposure was, but probably around 5 - 10 seconds. There is a long human history of the river and falls, and was featured on the advertising of Olympia Beer for decades; always noting "It's the water". Comments are always welcome. Good, bad, or otherwise.

Nice shot. I suppose I can accept using an Arizona sky in the Pacific Northwest as you did it very well.
By the way, the river is Deschutes.

Ooops... sorry for the misspelling of the river, but it's also in Tumwater, Washington. Check any map or check Google Maps.

Deschutes is French for "of the waterfalls." The Oregon Deschutes, is a bit north of the lovely town of Bend. The most famous picture of Tumwater's Deschutes is this one, as photobum mentioned:

Thanks for the compliment about the Arizona sky. Whenever I make such a drastic change, I either note it as a composite or fess up as I don't like trying to fool people into thinking the photo is something that it's not.

Perfectly Metered shot and filtered correctly. I love the final image a lot . Fabulous piece of work and one of the most difficult types of landscape encounters to have to manage because of the mixed light & shadows associated with a shot like this one. Well done sir.
