Is there such a thing as perfect in photography or art, I guess what can be perfect for one person isn't for another, but I do thank you sincerely for your thoughts and kind words.

Very nice composition with great light well captured. I like it a lot!

Hi Alf,

What wonderful use of light and conditions! Not an easy task and you have captured this place and moment in time so well. As always very well thought out composition - your eye being led from the ladder/stile through to the water and hazy sun beyond! Lovely work Alf!

Best wishes. Sarah

Thank you for your interest and thoughtful comments, much appreciated!

Good to hear from you, I hope you are keeping well! 

The little wooden Stile was a useful foreground point of interest, I took shots from 3 - 4 different angles and at different heights, but I think I liked this one best. 

Sincere Thanks for your thoughtful and encouraging feedback!

Hi Alf-WOW, Mother Nature has presented us with yet another beautiful scene as captured so professionally by you & your trusty Nikon.. A lovely scene,, a visual delight to sit back & enjoy which is what I have been doing Thank you very much..The lf, a lovely capture.This area seems familiar with some of your other images.I think I like the larger version better, altho they are both beautiful.Very Best regards-Ross

Thank you so much for stopping by and viewing this one! It's very gratifying to read that you enjoyed doing so.

I have photographed this location a few times, but never in such misty conditions. The strange thing was, that even though it was thick mist there was still quite a strong breeze blowing. In fact this little corner of the lake was the only place I could find that was out of the wind. 

Always good to hear from you! 

 

Kind Regards

Another superb landscape, my friend.  Creates a very calming mood.  Love the composition as usual.  Also, amazing image (to me at least) shooting into the sun.

Dumb question:  Since the shutter speed was 1/2000, could similar results have been achieved hand-held (if no tripod was available) ? 

Glad to see you back on PN.  Hope your work schedule has become normalized.

Cheers...

Always good to hear from you! 

Answer to the first question .........yes it is very likely that similar result could be obtained hand held with a shutter speed of 1 / 2000 sec. However the reasons I continue to use a tripod under these conditions are two fold. Firstly it is insurance to capture that moment whilst minimising any chance of the shot being blurred, and secondly by habitually using a tripod it becomes second nature and you I am less likely to be tempted into not using it ...........if that makes any sense : - ) 

And yes thankfully my work load has returned to some semblance of normality! 

 

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments and positive feedback.

This is the type of image that I would like to capture. I had an initial feeling about cropping some of the sky but I concluded  that it would upset the balance. Very well done.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and positive feedback!

I dare say it could stand a small amount of cropping, but the image is virtually untouched apart from tones and sharpening adjustments and these days I try to do as little as possible in terms of  PP work.

A wonderfully captured moody spectacle Alf! Perfect framing and love the foreground elements and use of lines. If this was on a distant wall at a studio, I would immediately be drawn to it. Fabulous work, as always my friend!

Good to hear from you and Thank You for your interest and thoughtful feedback.

Mist always adds that extra element for me but I think the trick is finding something visible in the foreground also. 

Best Regards
