Behind the House Photo

Photographer’s Note

Behind the House.

9.00 a.m. this morning and the River Ennig, swolen by heavy rains, races past the back of our house.
OK, so I didn't have to TREK very far to get this one -that's our neighbour in the window on the right doing some washing up!
Thirty minutes earlier and I would have got my feet wet taking this photo, as the river rose out of its bed and over the path. Just behind me is another small river; and to my right, the point where the two join.
Need I say, these are unusually high levels for the water here.

Photographic notes:
4 portrait shots stitched together. I had to remove a couple of power lines which could not be joined properly. Just a quick job really.

Bonsoir Colin,
Ce déchaînement de cette rivière en crue est impressionnant. Vous avez su saisir avec talent ce bouillonnement que forme cette tornade terrestre. Les couleurs sont parfaitement rendues. Excellent travail d'assemblage et de PP.
Félicitations.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Colin

A great shot - it captures the essence of the flowing river to a tee. Great lighting and perspective. Congratulations

Only after a long study of the picture I realized that some corners of the buildings deviate slighly from the angle that my eyes expected. I assume its a result of stiching portrait format together. The all-over-the-world standard green of the railings and the design of the street lantern giving the photo a more central european appearance.

Hi Colin
Great use of stitching to give this interesting perspective - the river is dramatic yet there is a quaint element of daily life too. The positioning of the house over the river gives a dramatic feel. Would be interesting to know what exposure details you used to give the effect.

Great shot. There are tons of whitewater long-exposure shots, but yours stands out because of the dynamism. You really get a sense of the force of the river.
