Panta Vrehei (Part 4), a photo from Evritania, Central Greece

Photographer's Note

This is the fourth photo from the beautiful canyon of Panta Vrehei (means "it's always raining" in greek. As you can see in my previous posts from the same place ( HERE, HERE and HERE it's a colourful place, but I thought I should give it a try in b&w and here's the result.

* That bright thing on the upper right part of the picture is not flair or anything like that, but one of the many waterfalls of the place.

Dear Hercules, my dear friend,
Wonderfull b&w capture. It was agood idea to give this nice scene in b&w. Very nic pov and good sharpness. Long exposure time shows perfectly the flow of water.
Congratulations for this nice work and TFS
Best regards

I like you decision to convert to B&W here Hercules - it suits the monochrome treatment and the OE isn't such a distraction as it was in your earlier posting.
I like how you framed the shot, although I think it might have been better to crop slightly to get rid of the over-exposed patch at bottom left.
Good choice of shutter speed - the water is nicely blurred.

Cheers,
Ben

Awesome photo. Love the tonal spectrum from pure white to dense black and the slow shutter has made the water into liquid light. Superb. Paul.

Hello Hercules,
This is much better than the earlier one in color. Tighter framing around the falls has alleviated the disturbance created by the high contrast. Of course, B&W has helped too. One can still that the highlights were too strong from the trees. I can detect some flare below the upper falls you mention, which is a fact of life with esp. zoom lenses. Regards,
Hakan

Beautiful place, indeed, of your series of images this is the more interesting under the photographic POV, anyway this place deserve a deep visit because its beauties, I think, very good work Hercules, compliments.

Hi Hercules,
Wondefully captured and presented in B&W medium. The slow exposure created a very desirable motion effect to add dynamics to the scene. Well composed ... excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Belle photo de ces chutes d' eau en NB, les détails ressortent bien et sont très nets. Pour ce qui est des trois autres photos, elles sont aussi très jolies et leurs jolies couleurs ressortent bien. Le seconde, un peu sur exposée au centre haut, donne des effets de luminosités superbes et me plait vraiment. Amitiés Thomas

Hola Hercules,
como bien sabes, soy poco amante del B/N en la foto digital, pero siempre hay excepciones y trabajos monocromáticos que me gustan, como esta foto. Aquí das un buen contraste a la cascada y a la textura del agua gracias a la gran gama de grises que realza los brillos y los reflejos.
Excelente trabajo con la luz.
Una foto magnífica, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep

kdialyna (3148) 2007-10-14 3:22

Προσωπικά προτιμώ την ασπρόμαυρη Version απο την έγχρωμη.
Πραγματικά η εικόνα μου δίνει την εντύπωση οτι βγήκε απο παραμύθι με νεράιδες και νάνους.
Το νερό με τα 5 sec είναι καταπληκτικό.

Hello Thomas.
Very elegant composition in B&W with the silky water flowing thru it in such a delicate way.
You got ride of the harsh lights well here thru this conversion and even better it turned quite 'classy' in B&W. The light on the rocks near the bottom is very beautiful enhancing both the rocks and the water which is flowing there.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hello Hercules.
Very beautiful. Great B&W work. Lovely light and low POV. Good composition and slow shutter speed to capture that water movement. Very well done.
Best regards, Steve
