[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I do a bit of travelling with my job, and my DSLR always comes with me! I spotted this section of the Similkameen River in SW British Columbia along Hwy 3 and stopped for some photo shooting. It was raining lightly, so it became a bit of a challenge to keep everything dry, but I managed to get a few photos. The rain naturally adds saturation to the fall colours; making for some great shots and more even exposures.
A Cokin P121 light grey grad filter was used here to help keep the sky down a bit.

a tidy job of including yet excluding the sky..grad did its job

good foreground interest and dof subsequently takes us to the far reaches of this shot

wide angles good for this..did you opt for f5.6 or was your cam on programme

Hi Tim,
Really beautiful colors and landscape.
TFS, José M.

Fabulosa panorámica. Colores estupendos. Buen DoF y agradable PoV.
Saludos, JL.

This is nice Tim. Exposure looks fine...so good use of ND grad. I really like the sharp foreground elements.

Hi Tim
Your landscape is nicely show with the river and the reflection of the colorful trees. The rock in the foreground add some interesting textures and colours with the fallen leaves. Nicely framed.

Hi Tim,

Good job with this picture. Excellent colour saturation. Nice composition with this low POV and diagonal river. Absolutly nice fall colors. Good use of the Cokin filter. The DOF is good but I would have personally tried a f/16 to have just a bit more sharpness on the trees and mountain the other side of the river.

PC :)

Hi Tim,

This is a nice one, the low POV really works well here.
I love the lovely autumn colours, they look really warm.
Beautiful landscape photograph, I like it!
Thanks for sharing.

Greetings, Nel
