Autrain Springs

luminouslighthuntress

Hi, I'm Tamara and this is my first post here. I wasn't sure where to start, so I figured I'd just jump right in. I'm looking forward to learning and sharing with the community.

This is a shot I took on a recent trip to Munising, Michigan. This is a spring that feeds into the Autrain River between the Upper and Lower Autrain Falls. I loved the fog that was laying near the riverbed on this morning. This might be my new favorite place to photograph in that area! I hope everyone enjoys it!

I like water and water fall photo's. That one is super!

Hi, and welcome Tamara. This is a very nice capture! Composition, light, balance & mood all seem right to me. A keeper for sure.

That's what I was thinking too.

Super! Really great looking scene and captured beautifully.

Don't be afraid to embed the larger size into your posts with IMG tags. We have a "stretchy" feature in the forum that resizes your pictures to fit smaller browser windows.

Just looked at your web site. Great stuff. All those in Michigan? I have a couple brother's and sister's there and one of these days I'm gonna make a trip to see them. Beautiful stuff!

Hi Tamara,

Welcome to dgrin!

I do like the saturation of colors. The colors looked so good that it sparked my curiosity. Sure enough, my all time favorite camera body as far as capturing colors with that magical "something", the original Canon 5D! If you can resist the urge to "upgrade" to a newer model, I think you will continue to be rewarded with great color in your images.

Looking forward to more of your work.

I tried to upload a larger one to begin with, but it wouldn't let me. hmm. Maybe I was doing it wrong?

Thank you everyone!

Yeah, they're mostly from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

Probably, .



I notice that the first image was linked from Flikr, but your second link was on a Smugmug site. I would just use your Smugmug site. Use the "Share" button to get a link to the .jpg file, and put that between a couple of IMG tags. Like this: [ img ]http://www.tamararivettephotography.com/Landscapes/Pure-Michigan-2013/i-46QQN87/0/XL/IMG_0940-XL.jpg[ /img ] (without the spaces).

Hmm...That's what I thought I did originally, must have screwed up somewhere. I'll see when I try it again I suppose! Thanks for the info.

Earache

Welcome!
Like the other commentators I think it's a real beauty.
But, seeing it larger in kdog's re-post, I find the tilt disorienting and distracting (unnatural).
It is tilted, right? It's possible that it's me that's tilted...

luminouslighthuntress

Earache, I thought so too while editing it, but it looks awkward when it's straightened out. I think it's just the tilt of the rock wall, and the slant of the river that makes it look slightly crooked. Thanks for looking!

Lovely mood to this shot.
