In The Mist

Gallery: AvianPosted November 13, 2015514 views9 comments

Earlier this year my dad, brother, and I went to British Columbia to photograph the bird life. Early one morning we went out to a nearby lake and found some Green Winged Teals to photograph. After photographing them for a while, I looked around and saw a pair of Canada Geese swimming through the mist. I framed everything up and started shooting. They slowly made their way across the lake, while I photographed them from shore. I really like the dramatic mood of the image. I am very happy with the way this one turned out.

Thanks for lookin'! crying

Jenanya,

latelly I start liking this type of images very much since they focus is more on the artistical part of photography.

Since a while I am experiencing that many people use their cameras more due to the fact that technically they allow them to make pictures that a few years ago were not possible. I am mainly thinking about action photos showing birds in fly, etc. That is something that in my opinion has got more interest as the artistical part of photography.

This photo shows that a great mood can be as impacting to the viewer as action is.

Well done devil

Hello Jenaya, a wonderful scene you have captured. Although I wasn't there, it looks like you were able to capture the mood. I love the way the trees are shown in the upper part of the image. I love it all around ! Great job, best from Holland, hans

I like this very much. Nice moody image. It all works for me with the exception of the watermark in the LRC. Fully understand the desire to have images watermarked, but watermarks should not pull the viewer away from the intent of the image.

This is a nice image Jenaya, but I echo Keith on the watermark. Keep shooting in the fog.

Beautiful image, Jenaya. I really like the way the bg tres slowly emerge as you look at the image. My only objection is that the logo on the bottom is pretty intrusive in this image.

Well seen and artistically captured Jenaya devil

The background tree's really put this image over the top for me.

A Beautiful Scene!

Very nice work Jenaya. Love the mood from the fog, the two ducks provide a nice anchor and the lines from the tree tops is what really makes this one special in my opinion.
