The River Hymn
no images were found
When I feel the need to just get out and shoot, I often head down to Pemberton Park in Lawrence. The park runs about a quarter mile along the Merrimack River, from the Great Stone Dam to this bridge.
Hitting the same spot over and over again is a great way to improve your skills, and test your gear. Between changes in the seasons, weather, and the lenses you choose, you can challenge yourself to walk away with a new take on a familiar scene.
In this case, I wanted to play with the 10 stop ND filter, on the river. This is a good place for it.
The title comes from a song by one of my favorite bands, appropriately called, The Band. Classic.
On another note:
Tomorrow post is going to be a treat.
Its a new HDR collaboration with a few friends. One set of brackets, 7 interpretations. Joining me will be Mike “Theaterwiz” Criswell, Jim Denham, Jacques Gudé, Mark Garbowski, Scott Fredrick, and Rob Hanson.
Don’t miss it.

Don’t see many color images using the 10-stop and I’m not sure why, cuz this one looks great! Like how the silky water effect works with the light and bridge. Very nice Bob!
Man I love smooth water!
Simple goodness. Great shot, Bob.
I see more and more images with use of these 10 ND stop filters. I think ill pick one up one of these days and try for my self.
Great shot.
Fantastic shot Bob!
Makes sense… I bet going to the same places helps you hone in on the skill of seeing more that would normally not catch your eye. Nice work!
Excellent long exposure work – very well done. agree that returning to the same location is great – you can have differen conditions that totally change the composition.
Super shot.
Great perspective, love the photo! and I agree about returning to familiar places to hone the skills, there’s a couple parks near me I use for just such a purpose!
