Hello Everyone!
Fly fishing photography is my great passion and sometimes mother nature will give aether great opportunities to shoot but sometimes its quite hard...rainy, dark nights like on this photo. This was taken in Norway last august and was shot at 3 am on river Driva after hard rain when we were sea trout fishing.

What do you guys think and how I could get more out of it.
I have only sharpen that photo a bit and used the Shadow/highlight tool on PS CS3 ( Im very beginner on PS )

I did use D200 and 10.5mm 2.8 fish eye lens ( iso 220 / 20.0 and av +1 )
Camera was on tripod for obvious reasons

I m more than happy to hear your comments.
Thanks a lot.

Finnfly, Welcome

Some outstanding sights have come from your country and surrounding geography. This is beautiful, even moreso because I would never see anything like it here (NY, US) at 3 am.

First impression was of heaviness in right side, wondering how it would have looked if you had panned left for a more balanced composition.

Hi, I think it is a striking picture which shows the dominant montains quite well.
I'm no expert but I agree that it would have been interesting to see what the composition would have been like if you panned to the left. I like the rocks in the foreground and the soft feel of the water.

Thanks for the nice comments, I totally agree on that...it is heavy on right side.
On left side there is road and I didn't want that on my photo.
I have one shot on that same pool where the mountain is on middle..I might have to post it here so you can see that.

But generally its quite hard to find good light to shoot when its rainy and foggy at night time..but it would be great to catch that feeling on photo...dark, wet and kind of spooky Just curious to know how some experts would do that?

Thanks,
T

Hope you understand my english

Finnfly,

Anything that looks this good is welcome here, although you may get some Critique sometime that isn't this positive. We'll try to help in any way we can. I'll look around for any discussions that may have occured in the past on rainy day shooting. Post your mountain-in-the-middle when you can; I'm curious.

As often happens, your English is better than some of us who have spoken it all our lives. Your spelling and grammar are accurate and interesting, well-written.
