What did you compose at Waters Edge?
Creek, marsh, lake, river, ocean – show what you’ve come across at water’s edge.
It’s the transition – water to land – that produces so much fun drama for this photographer :rolleyes: .
I’d enjoy seeing your favorite examples.
Along coastal Washington, I find a lot of weird stuff arriving on the tide. Not all of it’s worth a sheet of film – last week, I picked up a rusty soda can (I think) with Japanese writing. But so much of what I discover is. And of course the tide tosses-up new subjects every day. Make that twice a day.

This gigantic trunk floated out of the nearby Olympic rain forest & crashed here – where the sun bleaches it against coffee-colored sands. Despite the difficult mid-day contrast and simple composition, I thought the primitive beat-up shape was still worth a shot. Looks like a dinosaur’s thigh bone. The left side is 7 or 8 feet tall! Wish there was something better for scale than my footprints passing by in the foreground.
A month later the log was gone. It will return some stormy day.

Re: What did you compose at Water’s Edge?
Beautiful photo, Jim. I like the effect of the Cooke lens. It has a nice tone and texture. What film did you use?
Looks like Reno had a little snow although I don't see any traces of it in the trees.

I'm not sure what happened to the upper left corner of this shot. Taken with an 80mm SSXL at Arastradero lake (more of a pond, really) at Arastradero park in Palo Alto, CA.

Each May, the big trees are surprised by this melt-water creek at their feet.
Perhaps that’s just my imagination.
Come July, no trace of the stream remains. (Wenatchee Nat'l Forest at 5,000 feet, Washington state)

Great idea Heroique. I spend quite a lot of time on the shoreline with my camera. Here are 4:
- small feather trapped in the sand
- 3 foot diameter iron ball resting on seaweed
- small wave
- tops of two boulders in the sand

Lovely simple image Aled. Rhossili is a great location, as is the whole of the Gower.

Re: What did you compose at Water’s Edge?
Was camped at Horsetooth Reservoir while attending the Foto3 last June. I looked out the window of my camper trailer one morning to see this light from the predawn. The sun was right behind the ridge to the left of the notch.
I jumped out of the trailer, grabbed my Super Graphic, tripod, and a couple of film holders out of my car. I had time to make two exposures before the sun came over the ridge. That changed everything...

Nice shot, Joel. Silence indeed. It's been over 15 years since I paddled that lake.

Bah....who needs mud, rocks, weeds, or females, when you've got pollution swirling in your foreground!
This from a so-so-scan of a so-so contact print of a rather pleasant negative, 4x5, Ilford Delta 100, 90 mm Fujinon, f45 at 1 second. Since I was there taking pictures of it, the dam will soon go away, but the pollution likely will remain!

made me think of this photo--I found the transition of water to water (Oswego River to Oswego Canal) quite a lot of fun as well.

Yes, the orange things in the photo are starfish.

Re: What did you compose at Water’s Edge?
A rather poignant picture by the water's edge--taken on the morning that the dam in the background (just to the right of the small brick powerhouse, partly covered in dirt) was being demolished and removed. The morning of the execution, as it were, the tools of the executioner poised at the left edge of the picture, while the foreground features remains of the older, 19th century dam that will remain in the restored stream channel.

fish habitat restoration? I have a son in law in that field. Interesting work.
