What did you compose at Waters Edge?

[Eirik Berger]

No water in the image, but both my tripod and myself had our feet in the water…
Wreck of a truck from the old cold-mining era in town. Probably ditched in the water some 50 years ago.

Technika 4x5, Velvia 50 converted using PS B&W layer adjustment, don't recall lens or exposure details, Lake Michigan storm sky. Paula Chamblee suggested trying a crop without the sky, perhaps she should have suggested obscuring the entire image for further aesthetic improvement. Anyway, second image uses her aesthetic wisdom which is far finer than mine can ever be.

I think Paula is right, but my previous crop is not. Two alternative attempts. Critiques eagerly sought, maybe PM for the really humiliating? Original again for comparison. And I know Michael and Paula don't crop their own work, but I'm not there yet (as Paula kindly recognized, to no one's surprise).

Here's one for dam removal!

Thad,

As soon as I saw that first photo I knew I'd seen that before. I do some kayaking, and I thought I'd seen that scene in a guidebook. I thought it was in Idaho, but I can't find the photo. However, a check of my Idaho guidebook makes me think it is the remains of Sunbeam Dam, on the Salmon. Is it?

Gregg,
Yes, that's Sunbeam dam on a popular whitewater stretch of the upper main Salmon River. Boaters only run the dam in high water, which usually peaks the second or third week of June. I saw some kayakers put on Camas Creek to access the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, in the Frank Church Wilderness, last week. Absolutely insane, it drops 1400 feet in about 11 miles and makes the North Fork of the Payette river look like a beginners creek!
