Description

Image made in Poiana Rusca Mountains, Cerna River - Romania in a beautiful autumn morning. To be able to make this frame I had to go through the water almost to my waist, the current was too strong to be able to stand in the middle of the water to be able to make any image, so I used a boulder that was quite flat, but also very slippery so that I had to crawl on it and get closer to the area of interest. The water was splashing on me and on the camera, I placed the tripod and started looking for frames, although I had explored the area and had seen a few frames before so I knew what I wanted to capture, I photographed for about 20 minutes until I said it was enough, anyway the cold water and the fact that we were sitting on the boulder were already starting to feel. I think I captured the essence of the place and the power of the water, after which I slowly retreated back.

The idea is that you have to have in mind and visualize the final image even before you make it, to know exactly how you want it to look at the end, to know how to edit it in order to convey what you experienced at that moment. For such frames, you have to get out of your comfort zone.
