Sunrise at Tiny Marsh

An improved (I hope) repost. 80mmPS, 1/8 @ f 16, tripod, MLU, cable

release. The low contrast film helped maintain detail throughout

with even the orb of the sun peeking through. Not being a fan of

oversaturated photos the subtle colours in this one suit me fine.

Best, LM.

Perhaps a better image may have been captured had the photographer waited for the sun to illuminate the foreground which is rather flat.

 

 

Len, I like this, all around a very good shot. I like the clarity in the reflection.

David, Good point, but the photographers extremities were becoming numb & he was in a hurry to get back to his nice warm car :-) Best, LM.

CJ, It was certainly clear that morning & exceedingly cold. Always a pleasure to hear from you. By the way, this was in fact Portra 400 UC as stated in the tech details. When I said it was a low contrast film I was thinking that I had shot it on Portra 400 NC, a lower contrast film I used later in the day. My mistake! Best, LM.

a nice winter scene indeed. i do, however, find that the composition includes too many distracting elements. in particular the bridge on the right hand side. i also am left wishing that foreground vegetation were organized into a few more dynamic lines. just my 2 cents, but it sure is nice seeing some more Canadian winter scenes.

Andrew, I really appreciate your stopping by and taking the time to comment. My old version had the bridge cropped out. Guess I had it right the first time. A few diagonal lines would indeed have helped but this is what was there and the best I could hope for was that the vegetation would break up an otherwise boring expanse of foreground snow. That I think it does. Winter scenes from any country are a cooling sight to the eye in the heat and drought of summer. Having scanned your posts to check your credentials I feel your critique has some teeth. Does this alterante crop help? Many thanks. Best, LM.

Len, nice winter image, I don't have something like that....

beautiful reflection, I like the begining of sun rise in the bg. and the vegetation in the fg are not a distraction IMO as in their form they are a nice varaiety to the stright line of bg trees. the only thing imo is to clone out the black part in the upper right hs. I wish I could be there....

enjoyed the corner Len. Pnina
