Ode to Elves
by Philippe Sainte-Laudy
One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Europe!
Beaume Les Messieurs France.
Equipment: Nikon D300 10/20mm Sigma

The beauty of nature is all around us at all times, but there are brief moments when a combination of elements present themselves
in a truly spectacular way.
Anybody who is fortunate enough to witnesses one of these events will look back fondly upon the memory.
And they are even more fortunate if they happen to have a camera ready to record the event.
In order to be in the right place at the right time, it is necessary to understand the complex interactions between light, weather, landscape, the tides, plants, and animals. And it is important to have a deep respect for this planet and its inhabitants.
I hope that photography can bring people closer to nature and encourage them to preserve it for future generations.

Even though this technique is done to death these days it is always nice to see a pleasing shot like this nice slow shutter speed image. Good composition and spot on exposure makes this one up there with the best of this type of shot.

I love how that photo is almost moving! And I can almost hear that rush of water. Also I love how that photo is almost B&W but has tinge of green, which I think brings it to life…
