Late sunrise Photo

Photographer’s Note

The sunset came late this morning - there was heavy clouds in the east and it was nearly 10am before the sun gave as its first golden colours - I happend to pass by the place where I shot the blue swans and spotted the golden reflections in the frozen puddle and on the road - an alternative shot here.

I tryed some different crops - but ended up posting the full image.

Jeppe,
Skön bild.
Reflektioner, härligt ljus, svanarna och bilen som lämnar platsen med lite snörök runt sig.

Beautiful picture. I love the golden reflection! The swans look very nice here and the car adds something extra, well done!

Nicely done, like a car commercial. Excellent light and good positioning of the car and swans. Regards Daniel

Great work.

orme (6746) 2005-03-26 22:38

The lighting in this shot is just fantastic, Jeppe. Even thought there is snow, it looks like a very warm scene. The positioning of the swans is excellent. Well captured. "On Golden Pond" might have been another title for this shot.

Mood from the colors and I find this composition is very well done showing a lot of the life there and from the place.
Well managed light and balance from elements.
I like it

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-03-27 5:56

lovely swans here, the glistening ground is amazing, well spotted, well done

overcome (1109) 2005-03-27 6:04

Good shot, I love the sun on the snow with two swanseas on top

alford (3897) 2005-03-27 6:40

Hi Jeppe! I'm learning about your place more! This simple photo has wonderful lighting and subjects. The swans in the bright waters and the car with the sunlight reflecting off it and off the road are impressive! Great shot! rgds.

alvaraalto (5227) 2005-03-27 7:51

Hi Jeppe,
At first I wanted to crop the upper past, but when I kooked better I saw you did it right. The contrast between the upper and the lower side in colour, but also in scene makes this picture unique.

Peacefull; Nice, th ereflected light.

weswang (18223) 2005-03-27 13:19

Hi Jeppe, It is difficult to take a shot facing the sun light. You have done it very well in this picture. The swans show up very nice against the bright golden reflection in the pond. The position of the swan is better in this picture. To me, I like the one in your WS better without the distraction of the car. Nice shots, both of them.

nwoehnl (118) 2005-03-27 13:19

A lovely moment captured here, Jeppe. The special light with the reflections on the snowy road really enhances the feeling of a cold winter day, and the swans crossing the road certainly add a special, almost poetic, element. Very nice, and it really looks good without needing any crop I think.

kent_s (1911) 2005-03-27 13:22

(sigh) I wish I could do this. Take a shot against the sun and keep th colors AND without reflections

Well done as usual Jeppe

Guenther (6649) 2005-03-27 15:23

Hi Jeppe, I think you did well to post the full image! It is a great composition with a magic light and beside the charming swans IMHO also the car fits perfectly to the scene; great shot!

avigur_11 (21271) 2005-03-27 15:39

Amazing sunset light in the pond. This image is very clever xomposition, using the light for the atmosphere and the swand for the graphic element. I also like the car with the red backlights and that beautiful snowie roof. Great shot, Jeppe.

Mafo (1339) 2005-03-28 1:35

Mice photo, Jeppe!
Beautiful composition, light with golden reflection!
Regards

RGatward (19737) 2005-03-28 4:23

Funny shot, a classic arrangement for a nature shot, but we're in a modern housing estate. Great lighting.

Schultzy (5428) 2005-03-28 10:33

Nice and original composition Jeppe. The sun reflecting in the water is very nice. I like this warm colors. Well done !

Hi Jeppe,
The pond is like gold here, well seen and captured. The swans perfect the composition which I think would have been just good had you cropped just above the swans, but is made pretty interesting by the inclusion of surroundings.

lovely mood here, not only the dark tones overall have created this lovely mood, but also the lit foreground is superb. I really enjoyed this shot.
great work.

Have a nice day,

maphoto (8076) 2005-03-30 23:33

Great capture Jeppe, special and different photo, I like it, wonderful atmosphere, thanks for sharing.

oochappan (22026) 2005-03-31 11:32

Curious light Jeppe in this view with several levels sharp great DOF and indeed the light is even more intens in the WS.
Nicely seen, you were there at the right moment.

Jakou (642) 2005-04-02 3:04

Bonjour Jeppe,
Very well done original composition. The back redlights of the car, the swans, the sight of the trees, the light give, threw this picture an impression to begin a story, a roman.
Great shot.

jrj (34779) 2005-04-02 3:39

Excellent use of excisting light jeppe and great detail with the swans. Very good.

Janice (4386) 2005-04-03 6:28

What wonderful colours Jeppe. Excellent composition with the swans in the frozen puddle and the sun shining down. Very well captured.

Steft (5962) 2005-04-03 18:23

Wow! Really great light here. This gives a normal scenery a totally different, but dreamy look. The composition is good, I don't think neither you should crop it.

Georges (11183) 2005-04-04 11:47

Une bien belle image avec un rendu tres soignée.
Joli equilibre sur cette prise ou le regard se promene aisément.
Bravo Jeppe

AndyGr1er (281) 2005-09-13 11:20

Great shot, but I think I prefer the workshop. I think whats best about this photo is all the interesting elements in the frame: trees, tracks, water, birds, light, texture.

really excellent work. thanks
Andy
