Superior Sunrise

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted December 4, 2011140 views2 comments

This image was taken on Oct 3rd 2011 Near Lutsen on Lake Superior. I am not sure which gallery this belongs in because of the HOM involved. I was taking shots of the Sunrise on shore when my wife said she was cold and going back to the car. She noticed this reflection on the windows of the shed and said I should be taking pictures of the reflection. If it was not for her I would have missed this opportunity. I used a tripod with the SLT A55V set on Aperture Priority. F9, 60mm, for 15 sec. Bracketed for 3 different exposures, merged and cropped. Feedback is always welcome. Thank you in advance for your suggestions and comments.

Good detail through out. The reflections hint at a beautiful sunrise. One of my favorite images came when my gf/now wife pointed out the dragon shaped cloud. Otherwise, I might not have seen it.

The reflections in the windows are great and the geometry that the building creates works really well. Congrats to your wife for good seeing and you for an excellent capture and processing....what a team! My guess is that while this is too much hand of man for the M&N gallery definition, you could probably put it there and no one would complain. Bracketing, merging, and cropping alone happen constantly in all the galleries, so they don't define photo art....that's my 2 cents worth. The other possibility would be the Roadkill forum. That's often used for shots that don't fit well anywhere else. BTW, welcome to NPN where opinions abound.
