Sunstar Cove Bay

A wonderful picture, technically amazing depth of focus, beautiful colors, but, but, but:

 

There are so many of these, photo.net is inundated with "10-22" shots, I just get tired of the prone shots of sunset (or rise), from pebble (or moss, rocks, etc) perpective.

Yeah, I get tired of female nudes in every contorted pose imaginable, or studio and street photos of people with every facial expression or lighting setup that you'd ever want to see, or building facades that have intersecting line after intersecting line, or birds just doing what birds do (fly or stand) and nothing else, or flowers that aren't much more than spots of color, or photos of Utah with nothing but red rocks and places where people used to live. Maybe it's time we all take up either astrophotography or deep sea photography that haven't been done so much; I'll bet we've seen most everything else over and over again.

Well actually this style of shot is quite a diversion from that which I normally shoot. My widest lens by the way is 45mm which is the 35mm film (full frame equivalent) of 22mm. In truth I haven't the slightest interest in pproducing an "original" work of art only a picture that pleases me and is by my own standards aesthetically beautiful. I leave that to all you er "concept" guys.

Ian, your photo on the "daily sampling" feature of this web site sure caught my eye! Wow!! What an outstanding photo... ! I can only hope to someday get such a fabulous shot. I love the colors and details of the rocks, but the sky and sun are also excellent. This is an award-winning photo if you ask me.
