Mossy Rock on the East Okement

Saturday 26th February 2005 - Day 70

In between the coughing and spluttering, and wrapped up well, I took a
an afternoon stroll up the East Okement river, not far from my house.

I was struck by the amount of moss accumulating on a lot of the boulders… maybe this is a sign of several things – moisture (yep), clean air (yep), and lack of sunlight (well yep, its in a deepish valley at this point). The river, though is a bit less in spate than I was expecting, maybe it isn’t so wet here !

Used a polarising filter for ND purposes, in an attempt not to blow out the highlights on the water.

The river looks like as it is painted. Very nicely captured. The green actually as well. What a great effect you have here.

Everything about this is marvelous,the textures, the colors, the motion--you should get sick more often if this is what happens. Feel better.

Nice lighting on the moss. Hope you didn't fall, it looks a bit slippy out there!
