Milford by Moonlightby *octane2

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

You'll need to click here to see this on a black background. Forget about viewing it on deviantART.

Milford Sound captured moments after our satellite had reached full status.

In this 16-minute exposure, we can see streaking clouds, misty spray (to the right) caused by the full force of Lady Bowen Falls, Mitre Peak to central left, the Elephant and the Lion are centre right; nestled between these two is my favourite waterfall -- Stirling Falls.

To give you an idea as to the sheer scale of the landscape presented in this composition, Stirling Falls is at least 8 kilometres (approximately 5 miles) away.

RAW blend for clouds.

Critique by ~AFischersPhotos Feb 23, 2012, 6:06:36 AM

I would like to say that this piece looks amazing in grayscale. The lack of saturation would usually be a bad thing for my tastes, as I like color, but this looks perfect. I think leaving the exposure on helped this piece, as the clouds streak across the sky instead of being solid hues of gray. Also,it gives it a surreal look. the grasses in the water have left streaks in the wake of their movements, making it look like a spirit realm. Truly beautiful, this piece stands out among photography as one of the finest photographs I have ever critiqued.
