Morning Glass

S

Sleeping in, that’s a noble idea, ‘cept when you forget to reprogram the iphone-alarm.  Next dilemma of the 5:00 morning, no power…it’s the middle of summer and the juice is gone…so it’s time to get out the candles and think about how to make time work for me.

That’s when I decided to try the 16-35mm w/marumi c-pol that I ordered months ago and try my hand at some photography off the shoreline…yep..it’s on my list of trying ….out into three feet of water I went

The subject eluded me for a minute, I was taking images of the dock, w/foreground trees, polarized water shadows, the opposite shoreline..then the obvious became clear….it’s the water.

The water on the lake is clear, spring feed, the rain during the night put a refreshing scent into the area. It was too cool to be buggy…and the patten of clouds and reflective powder-blue sky with a tinge of  landscape  morning haze and the composition mural was basically complete.

    Ed,

    I really appreciated the simple
    complexity of this photo. Quite envious I am! Hope all is well with you.

    Hi ChasM,

    Really great to hear from you again ! I am glad to be getting back to the front end of photography again, Image Vision and Capture. The output side for the web has sucked up a lot of my time, creativity and training/learning computer code. You’ve been with me from the start, so you’ve see the changes, I’ve been evolving the site themes and feel that we now have a distinct site for Blogs, Image viewing, useful and timely information, which is contained in a unique magazine style format….

    Your comment reminds me of a well-known photographer, who commented on his style. He uses an inclusive and exclusive style in composing his images. He frames a few subjects, then he begins to parse out elements, you may want to take a read on his technique…http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/waterfalls.shtml . I go back to the article ever so often to remind myself, how to craft compositions….

    All the best, and thanks for your comments and returning to this site ….
