The Day Is Yet To Come

An almost zero visibility except some streak of bright sky not covered by

rain clouds some one hour before sunrise. Some signs of sun's reddish

glow is becoming visible in-between the mountains. The white bright areas

close to the mountains are lights from the fishermen's moving boats. A

single exposure of 11 minutes, f8 @ ISO 200. Processed and corrected

color balance, added a little blur in CS4. Thank you for viewing and please

Hello Lester:

This is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this photo and being so generous as to tell us how you did it! It's a 7 in my eye.

very beautiful image Lester, so serene as day is 'dawning'....congrats, you've done it again!!!

Just amazing and superb! Top marks. Bravo.

Hamid.

In this image everything comes together beautiful. Truly well done!

Love this, Lester...genius.

A great capture of remarkable light, great long exposure giving that silky smooth finish.

Beautifully executed shot!

Regards

PS.  I noted the 20mm Nikkor lens you have used, it seems like a great size for prime lens especially for landcapes, what do you think of it?

So beautiful, soft and serene. It is a very calming image. I like it.

Often when a very long exposure is used to reveal more than the eye can see at the time the results are very intriguing and very beautiful, as this photo demonstrates.  Very nicely done.

Beautifull light

Perfecta luz y magicos colores. Saludos

John, Gail, Hamid, Anabela, Roger, Alf, Linda, Stephen, Jef & Gallego,

Thank you for all your feedbacks. Highly appreciated.

Alf, I have used this lens lately and I like it because of its edge-to-edge sharpness, distortion is much less and the contrast is very favorable. Though on the D300 it goes up to 30mm, still is a great lens for taking landscapes if the preference is for more narrow angle of view in contrast to the ultra-wides. Thanks.

Lester

Beautiful image, the colors and tones are really nice. Regards, Jean-Marc
