Sesachacha Morning Mist

Posted by Margie (Auckland, New Zealand) on 28 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Taken a few years ago in Nantucket. There's much room for improvement but I still like the light, and I'm paying homage to a friend today.
:)

I'm a beginner at this photography thing. Any hints, tips, constructive criticism or comments are welcome and appreciated.

Anthony from Bielefeld, Germany

Nice light,nice atmosphere.Maybe a little more detail on the left to frame the whole shot would have made it better !! (NOT a criticism,just a tip)

@Anthony: Oh don't worry, I agree! Thanks for your comment, Anthony.

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom

Well, if you are a ‘beginner’ now and took this a few years ago . . I think you must have photography all sewn up and more some! Splendid shot.

@Ronnie 2¢: Such kind words! Thanks Ronnie.
p.s. I have a TON to learn!

Aaron Schmidt from Auckland, New Zealand

It's a very nice shot. Improvement probably could have been achieved through post-editing (using Photoshop or the like) but at the same time, I really do like the simplicity. Well done.

28 Apr 2008 5:33am

@Aaron Schmidt: Thanks Aaron. Photoshop is something else I have to learn more about! :)

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

Wonderful atmosphere and colours. Love it!

28 Apr 2008 6:34am

@MadScientist: Thank you!

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

The morning light is always warm, it feels like something is starting. If you can always try different framing, now you have digital shoot as much as possible.

28 Apr 2008 6:40am

@JoeB: Thanks Joe. And yes, I have been shooting a lot!

Julian Kilsby from Birmingham, United Kingdom

Great composition and the subtle yet vivid hues are very effective. A tiny bit more detail in the shadows on the shore might have made this even stronger. But a great shot nonetheless.

@Julian Kilsby: Thank you Julian

alex centrella from California, United States

simplicity at its best

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States

The light and serenity are wonderful! (In viewing, I'm there.)

28 Apr 2008 7:59am

@Earnest: Thank you Earnest, it's a beautiful place.

Observing from Chester, United Kingdom

Beautiful peaceful scene. The image will never change even if Nantucket does.

28 Apr 2008 1:09pm

@Observing: Thanks Mike.

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Fantastic shot, love the soft warm feel of this. Perhaps there is too much sky, and a tighter crop would enhance the foregrounds.

28 Apr 2008 3:12pm

@Graham Russon: Thank you Graeme. I posted it then thought the same thing.

João Mourão from Amadora, Portugal

Oswegan from Lake Oswego, United States

I like the mist on the water, it's beautiful.

28 Apr 2008 8:33pm

@Oswegan: Yes I like how it diffuses the sunrise. Thanks for your visit. :)

Mikey from Australia

I like this shot too, looks like a still early dawn moment?

29 Apr 2008 3:06am

@Mikey: Exactly! I think I had to heave myself out of bed about 5am to tag along on this photo expedition.

Fantastic shot!!!
So serene! I love how the colour shades have mixed here.

@Vikram: Thanks for your visit and encouraging comments!

Peter from Antwerp, Belgium

Wonderful light and colors. Not much room for improvement if you ask me, although I wouldn't have placed the horizon exactly in the middle...

Kelela from United States

Woa; Margie, I missed this shot last time I visited. Such a pristine and peaceful place. The soft pastels contrasting with the land; wow, this is immaculate! You got skills!

4 May 2008 12:51am

@Kelela: Hey thanks a million, but I can't really take credit for having "skills". I was with a friend who has mad skills, and kind of feeding off his creativity. :)
Have a look...
