gathering storm 2

late summer storm over lake superior, please view larger, thank you!

A good angle of view to create an excellent of perspective of the shoreline sweeping across the frame. Works really well in mono to show the effect of the elements. Lovely composed image.

 

Regards John

I really like the composition and the wind can be "seen" in the foreground grasses. I can feel that initial wind gust that leads an approaching storm. Nice job!

Thank you, John and Tim! This storm came up fast. I was very lucky to have time before it hit to run down to the beach to take a series of shots.

 

Best regards,

Richard, the storm is felt in every aspect of the composition. The strong wind on the tree and grass, the dark omious sky. Very well composed the atmospher and light in this harsh weather.It looks a desolated place with only the lone tree.( and you the photographer...;-)) very well observed and executed.

Thank you so very much, Pnina!

 

Best regards,

You are really becoming quite a photog, Dr. A...it's always a pleasure to come back to your photos and see how good they have become.

 

Have you ever tried scaling these bad boys up with a scaling program (e.g. Genuine Fractals, etc)? These would make really strong prints at the 16x20-ish size.

 

I hope you are doing well. I am in the Bahamas for a wedding, signing overdue charts from my laptop! We all have to pay the piper...

 

Cheers,

Thanks, Jay! Good to hear from you. Bahamas, huh? That sounds tough:-) I haven't used any plug-ins for Aperture for post processing. I was interested in DXO OpticsPro 5 for lens corrections but I couldn't get the trial version to work on my iMac. I'm happy with the monochrome converter in Aperture and I'm getting better using it. I'm sure as time goes on I'll try some other programs.

 

Have a great time in the sun!
