Amazing place, and the exposure is very good.

Thanks Smile It's where I live, a little pond where the creek come down from the hills. The power of the water was heavily used in the 16th, 17th and 18th century.

Fantastic.
It could be one of those big wall posters.

Amazing place indeed but I'm sorry, the exposure is a half a stop off on the dark side. If you have the raw file try to add +0.5 and see the result and the histogram.

This is one of those scenes that looks very different depending on the gamma of the screen. On mine the snow is light grey (and the histogram shows it also).

Really nice shot - made me pine (no pun intended) for Europe, as here in Oregon winter is usually just wet wet wet (though more tuneful? lol) By the way I agree, there's no way one can judge the 'rightness' of another's shot vis a vis contrast etc. unless one has a monitor calibrated exactly as that of the picture taker's. If the error is great then that's apparent, but small variations appear even here at home between my three screens?

Have a great winter.. I have this lens too so I want more pics to encourage me to use it!

Thanks for all comments Smile

Just to explain about the snow, I can understand your point but it should not be white. That is because when daylight is fading or the day is dark here the snow is not white Smile I rarely try to compensate those things because the atmosphere here is a big part of my images (and the place where I live is specially known for it's haze/fog/atmosphere). It's also a reason why I never use uv-filters.

I absolutely agree with you. For me the image is perfect.

Excellent capture.
If the water wheel is still there you could use it for a power source.

Great photo!
Do you really that much snow up there?
Here it's nothing like that. Grey is the dominant colour and the air is well moisturized.

Wink Actually there is still a small one downstream. In the old days though, the whole hillside was full of small industries, "smelteries" I think they'r called in english. Making iron and stuff. There's one factory left, however not for long it seems, they just sacked over 50 people (and it's the only factory in a small village).

That's very bad news in a small place - the knock-on effect can be severe with the loss of incomes and spending money for other businessess. Same thing is happening around here with the recession - factories are laying off workers in the nearest town (not a large town either) and it's all linked to the slowdown affecting everybody.
