Odds And Ends

Gallery: LandscapePosted March 23, 2012710 views36 comments
This is an image from a few years back from some local areas here in Muskoka. This particular evening I was having little luck finding a strong composition of the landscape in front of me so I decided to look for details. As the sun dipped below the horizon the sky lit up with some gentle pink tones which were reflected in the water stunningly. I used a longer shutter speed to calm the water and pick up as much of the skies colour as possible without disturbing the reeds. Enjoy!

Nice shot! I love the pink tones and the simple but effective comp. I recognized the thumbnail because this image is right beside mine in OPC magazine!

Great example of the KISS method here Kyle, and I quite like it. Just a thought, I might try this to see what it looked like in B&W! :toast:

Beautiful color. The soft feel to the water and the detail in the watercress/reeds/weeds, whatever they are, is a very nice contrast. Well captured.
