  🙂 😉 I like it too, but I need to carry filters around. It was really tricky to park a tripod on these slippery rocks. Thank God for hubby 🙂

A lovely long-exposure. Did you use a filter or was it dark enough so that you didn’t have to?

Es maravillosa Paula, no tengo ni idea de cómo se consigue esa estela blanca que parece una nube, pero me resulta tan atrayente y, como dice el anterior comentario, dan ganas de meter los pies en ella y disfrutar.

  Se trata de una larga “exposure” – el tiempo para tomar foto. Necesitas un tripode y unos “settings” manuales. Suena mas complicado de que lo es en realidad.

        De nada Mariangeles… puedes seguir usando tu camera compacta en modo automatico y sacar muy buenas fotos – so hay un limite que no podras usarla de modo creativo como en esta foto de agua.

        Es verdad, aunque cada día le descubro nuevas posibilidades que me dejan asombrada y, de hecho no la uso casi en modo automático. Me falta mucha experiencia, pero me estoy dando cuenta de que gracias a vosotros los expertos, y los diferentes retos en los que participo que me hacen seguir haciendo pruebas, cada día me apetece más seguir haciendo fotos.
