It’s a matter of personal taste of course (my opinion is no more valid than the next persons), but I do prefer an image like this as opposed to that where the shutter is slowed down with a filter. I find it more realistic and maybe even more difficult to capture in terms of showing liveliness whilst caught at a faster shutter speed 👍.

I do think it depends a bit on the image though, that waterfall(just south of Puerto Bertrand were the Rio Nef joins the Baker) is so chaotic that I don't thin a long exposure would be as interesting, wouldn't give the same sense of depth IMHO.

I visited the Rio Baker on horseback before there was the Carretera Austral

Bit more recent, in 2015 although the road was still mostly unsealed. That picture is actually the furest south I got on that trip, started from Esquel in Argentina, went into Chile down the Austral and then back into Argentina

I remember interesting geography wise that the Nef is actually the original river, the Baker although much larger in flow is fairly new as post glacial uplift caused Lago Gen Carrera to start emptying in that direction and into the Pacific. The waterfall is the point they join with the Baker not having had that much time to erode it down.

There's a power you can feel in the image. Well done.

Interesting you should say that.

I'm in the middle of reading through the blog of Sharon Tenenbaum. Her specialty is long duration daylight photography.

She spends a lot of time talking about how it's become overused and her philosophy on making long duration images that aren't just about the long duration.

It's well written and interesting, and she definitely got me when she mentioned she is a formally trained civil engineer.

Cheers
