Fairy Falls, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon.

Colour on Glass. October 2011. Eagle Lake, Maine.
Long exposure. I took this shot in one of two evenings I spent at the shore at Bandon. High winds blew the clouds from North to South, making their movement quite remarkable to me, while it was quite calm at the surface, enabling me to capture the motion over several seconds of exposure. The tiny white light in the sky is planet Venus. Beware of tidal pools in that place though, I've heard of some inattentive people getting an undesired evening bath in the darkness...

Conqueror of Time. I created the effect on the moving clouds with a 1.5+ - minute exposure. Extended exposures help create a blur effect on moving elements in the frame (water, clouds, cars, people etc...); the technique is often referred to as "time painting"; it is performed in-camera, NOT with Photoshop. Photo taken at sunset in front of Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montréal. Summer 2012.
