these pics - painted by a bloke called Fred Edwin Church in about 1867 are amazing IMO. The first one i happened to see in Edinburgh at the weekend and in 'real life' the painting is unbelievable, the colours are so vibrant and really grab the clarity and 'life' of the water... (this jpg and the postcard that i bought really do not do the original justice)
For some reason i am always drawn to large bodies of water either at 'rest' or (better still) in motion and i have tried and tried to use photography to get the same feeling as if i were there... but i fail.
i am so jealous at his abilty to 'capture' the water, i cannot possibly hope to do the same in paint but can any of you match him using photography?
Have you any tips on taking shots of water?
