24 May 19 Reply John, you raise an important consideration. For 20th century National Geographic photographs, you point is very well taken. I don't subscribe to Nat-Geo, but what I'm seeing in Nat-Geo and Outdoor Photographer is a slight blur, panning, and other features that capture motion and demonstrate sharp focus on detail.
I chose f/6.7 1/500 and ISO 6400 to get a slight blur for what is really fast and tack sharp on the rest, especially to stop bobbing up and down in the water.

I would like to hear from others on what you started in this conversation.

24 May 19 Comment Laura, Wow! Another magnificent sunrise moment in a dynamic landscape. I like how everything rises - lifted up to the hills. The three foreground bushes (pale, barren and twisted) give a perspective of proportion. I like the "S" curve which traces the flash flood, gully washer. Beyond this is terrain and texture that is very rugged and crumbled. The exposures for sky and landscape are spot on. There is a suggestion of haze and halo at the dip in the horizon where the sun is brightest. Nice capture of the right moment. You should do well in S4C. Dr. Jim May 7th
24 May 19 Comment John, your Gothic arches of the main window of the church are nicely repeated in the four sides of the bell tower portion of the zinc spire - nice lighting. I see the solitary isolation of the church, in winter, expecting the first sign of life to appear. This interacts with the stormy negative space in bands of dark clouds. Good to crop on the right to create this story. Dr. Jim May 7th
24 May 19 Comment Philip, I am captivated by the way that the lines of the coils is a magnificent arch for the butterfly to rest on, and the foreground coils break the pattern to lead directly to the butterfly. Excellent composition, exquisite detail, great bokeh. Well done! Dr. Jim May 7th
24 May 19 Comment Donna, I like your closeup of what makes this train work. The vanishing point of the lines of the track, chassis and rail-car lead me to the bright spot on the left. Everyone looks at bright spots, which is good here. It all ends up there, but I think something was cropped out or not vertical about the rail-car. Then, my attention comes back to the details. If you could have lowered the camera to capture the wheel on the rail I think it would all come together better. Dr. Jim May 7th
