Sandy Hook, Bay side...Right Down the Middle

Your thoughts, comments or ratings are always welcome, thanks for

looking. Please view large.

This is a wonderful image in many respects.  To begin, it's as if the sand spit is dividing two different worlds - one dark and the other light.  The blue tones, especially contrasted with the browns and oranges, are luxuriant and vivid.  Also, the footprints in the sand evidence a previous human presence.  But the person who is knee-deep in the water, perhaps doing some fishing, provides immediate human presence, aided by the bystanders hanging out on the beach.  All of this takes place under the sky's magnificent umbrella.

 

To my favorites this one goes.  It clearly deserves the 7 I selected.

 

My best,

Holger,

a very nice capture.  Love the dark / light on either side of the land.  

Holger,

  Beautiful image with wonderful POV, colors & dark & light.  Take care, Patsy

Very Nice.  Calm vs rough. It reminds me of a similar beach in Barbados near the the town of Oistins.

Holger,   Stunning capture again, great perspective, amazing balance on exposure & composition, nice color contrast, very well renderings!     Best regards

Holger, this image ifs full of interesting details and the human touch! Warm regards.

amazing photo it has to be seen enlarged to give it justice

Jorge, Stephanie  Thanks very much for your comments. It definitely needs to be seen large. See you soon.

the wide lens (i suppose it's equivalent to a 24?) didn't serve as well here, i would have said. best, j

 

p.s.: i think you should try to limit yourself to f/5.6. beyond that, you'll suffer diffraction blur, and there will be more than enough depth of field at that aperture.

Jamie Thanks for the very helpful comment, I'm still learning this particular camera. When I used this setting on the Olympus camera it presets the parameters. I like trying out all the settings to get more familiar with what this camera can do, now that I have sold all my Canon equipment. I very much appreciate your time and help.

Best Regards, Holger

I like the "Admire" feature on this site, it saves me from typing a lot of words, it goes well with our streamline society.
