The Shack

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted November 13, 2014262 views10 comments

My wife and I spent three nights out at this shack to celebrate our first wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. It's seven miles off the coast of the Eastern Shore of Virginia, in a maze of marshes and barrier islands that are wonderfully remote and minimally visited. To take this sunrise image, I was knee deep in soft mud, with my camera just an inch or so off the water surface, trying hard not to move and disturb the reflection.

Nice graphic image, Thomas. I salute your dedication to your craft when your bride is in a warm bed back in the shack on your anniversary

Fabulous colors and beautiful comp. I spent years sailing the Easter Chesapeake and this really evokes some beautiful memories.

A beautiful image that was executed well. This works so well for me, and the composition is right on, and the colors are divine.

Well done sir
