i like the patterns in the water made by the oars...nice light too :)
ReplyDeleteHow long did you have to wait to line up the sun reflection with the rowers?
ReplyDeletenice shot. is that govt house on the top right?
Hi Victoria. I reckon the patterns in the water really top it off.
ReplyDeleteHey db. Thanks and yes, it is Government House. Taken from Morell Bridge. It was actually a fluke - right place, right time. The sunlight on the water is what caught my eye and made me stop to get my camera out, but then I noticed rowers coming under the bridge from behind me.
The problem is though, I couldn't see the screen on my camera very well because of the sun in my eyes, so I had to squint really hard at it and it was more a case of "guess and shoot". Needless to say, I was pretty happy wuth how it turned out.
Has just occurred to me that this looks like a black and white photo - well, it is, but not because I fiddled with it to make it B&W.
ReplyDeleteSo it is B+W due to the strong sunlight and deep shadows? nice one.
ReplyDeleteYep.
