Beneath the Long White Cloud
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.
@Rhys: Thank you Rhys.

Such a beautiful capture ! I love how the calm water blends with the mist and flows to the sky... Lovely !!

@Ruben Latre: You're so generous with your comments, Ruben. Thank you!
@Inki: Thanks!

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.

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.

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

Wonderful atmosphere and colours. Love it!

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.

@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: Thank you very much Alex.
@Henry: De nada. It seemed appropriate.

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

Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
Beautiful peaceful scene. The image will never change even if Nantucket does.

@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.

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

@João Mourão: Thank you!

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

@Oswegan: Yes I like how it diffuses the sunrise. Thanks for your visit. :)
@Mikey: Exactly! I think I had to heave myself out of bed about 5am to tag along on this photo expedition.

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...

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!

@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...
