The Wreck of the Nornen III

Timeless capture, Colin. This could well have been taken on that fateful day in March 1897, had the 5D and 17-40L existed then ;)

Superb framing and excellent exposure, giving a real sense of foreboding and an eerie yet intriguing atmosphere...

WOW!

the lighting really makes it for me... rainbow makes for a interesting mood....

great, nearly missed it in this fresh new year :-). Best wishes!!

Very unusual lighting. Looks surreal with that rainbow. Nicely done.

Extraordinary picture.

Happy New year my friend! I like how you were able to capture the falling rain and the rainbow. Splendid image. The wreckage appears like pathway to the rainbow.

Your photo is suberb! It's the definition of being at the right place at the right time.

Excellent photo. Nice to see somebody who is not hiding the camera when he sees some raindrops somewhere. Karl

Thanks everyone! Karl. the camera bag and gear got a thorough drying off and careful removal of all the sand and mud after this little jaunt.

Outstanding capture, right time, right place, love the history lesson.

Great work, Colin!

Wow! Perfect!!!

Well worth getting your toes wet I'd say. Amazing luck/skill at getting the forces of nature to play along. Might've been nice to see a bit less of the sandbar, but not sure if that'd be possible (especially while keeping the rainbow intact) Well done

Jeff, I aggre, less sand would have been good :-) but the rainbow was disappearing fast and I only had time for this one shot before it had reduced to almost nothing. And the water to my left was quite deep!

Wow! What a beautiful shot. I think the whole photo is nicely composed. Very beautiful.

Regards,

Happy new year, Bram

And you got a rainbow i don't believe it :)

 

What a picture this is, i love the sunlight coming through, it's like the rainbow has cut a slice in the clouds, i am surprised they don't try and rescue what is left of this boat Colin.

Still as dramatic as ever, Colin. It's hard to believe that it has been three years since I saw the shots in this folder.

 

I have never seen a rainbow and obvious virga at the same time, I don't think. This is beautiful.
