Dinghies Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

During my alongshore walk in Espoo last week I also saw this winter transportation example. The shot is taken almost from the same spot as my first upload from that walk, the Freezing strait. The direction is only more towards east. The two dinghies had obviously been used in the previous days, a weekend, to carry people with their food and stuff to the small island, where they have their cottages. You can see on the right edge of this photo and on the left edge of the above mentioned photo a small darker slot in the ice, a crack, which they had hit with their paddles into the ice. In an ordinary cold and traditional Finnish winter, the strait would have a thick ice, which would easily carry a walking person. This year the ices are at least still weak. Well, somewhat better than last year, when sea was practically free of ices. You can see in the photo one of the cottages and in front of it a sauna/outbuilding.

Ciao Lasse,
fa una certa impressione vedere questo mare tutto ghiacciato, dove persino le piccole onde, rimangono gelate e ferme nella loro ultima posizione prima del gelo, come se tutto ciò fosse il risultato di un fermo immagine della natura.

Immagine davvero ben catturata, dove luci e colori si fondono bene, dando gusto alla scena ritratta.

Hallo Lasse!
Winter surely can't be more beautiful as shown here! The shown scenery simply is gorgeous and this wonderful warm inclined light helped you in a great way to show this. For me one of your best! Really beautiful, somehow fascinating!
Greetings from Siegen, where it is snowing and snowing ... and have a nice weekend!

asajernigan (14132) 2009-02-13 9:18

Lasse,
Nice winter scene with good composition. The positioning of the small boats works well adding a point of interest in the foreground. The low angle lighting gives the scene warm colors and nice areas of sun and shadow.
TFS,
Asa

Oh, Lasse,
this is beautiful! Wonderful winter light catching the boats in the FG, lovely shadows, perfectly composed with the boats and the line of trees and the color is superb. What a marvelous winter shot! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Hello Lasse,
Very informative note that you need to read first in order to understand this photo. For many people those dinghies would be boats.
Well composed photo, good colors.
Thanks!

Estupenda iluminación.

parbo (10970) 2009-02-13 11:41

Hello Lasse,

Amazing capture, using splendid effect of low angled afternoon lights for a beautiful scene. The red boats worked perfectly in snowy surround while frozen lake and forest adding great value to your perfectly taken photo. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

PaulVDV (5184) 2009-02-13 11:43

Hello Lasse,
This beautiful winter picture has a good composition and very nice colours. The red of the boats contrasts nicely with the blue and white snow and ice.
Best regards, Paul

BelCan75 (2418) 2009-02-13 12:44

Hello Lasse,

Hello Lasse!
Another winter scene full of typical elements of this season: snow, sky, light, frozen water! It's beautiful and pleasant! I like the fact that you put on some colors in it: boats, rock, house and sky! A wonderful contrast with the other non-colored items! Superb sharpness and exposure! Great pov and splendid composition! TFS - Congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Kielia (8487) 2009-02-14 8:20

Hi Lasse,
you really had an interesting walk and thanks for letting us accompany you virtually! Most of all I like this wonderful light on the boats. It must be nice to spend some days here where you are not disturbed by civilisation. A very pleasant impression! TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

Ciao Lasse,
è sempre affascinante vedere i laghi giacciati: d'inverno la tua terra la immagino proprio così.
La composizione è molto bella e la luce dorata del sole crea un'atmosfera molto calda e rilassante.
Ti abbraccio e ti auguro di trascorrere una buona domenica.

bobocortis (14140) 2009-02-14 11:10

Hello Lasse.
The low-placed sun give some great warm paints to this landscape.
The orange paints of the boats couple well with the northern winter's frozen paints.
Best regards.
Bobo.

Longroute (9345) 2009-02-15 10:21

Hello Lasse,

I was expecting something like that! I knew that your walk along the trail would have brought very good captures!
Splendida, splendente, to quote an italian song... a wonderful winter landscape with the best light. The red dinghies are a fine eye catcher and it's good to see the red cottage among the trees. And the composition is simply perfect!
My compliments, Lasse, my best compliments,
Donato

Clementi (44047) 2009-02-15 11:18

Ciao Lasse,
un panorama invernale unico, tutto ghiacciato con questa luce tipica del nord Europa, sembra di vedere un quadro.
bravo
Giorgio

Hi Lasse,
Very beautiful winter scenery...
The composition, light and point of view are excellent.
Have a good evening.

PixelTerror (86088) 2009-02-15 12:03

Hej Lasse
nice winter image under some shy light, I like these touches of red from the boats.
Have a nice day JY

fanni (8737) 2009-02-15 12:59

Hello Lasse,
a rhetoric silly question: "Where do you take such beautiful photos?" LOL
IMHO, the brightly sunlit red dinghies are a great eye-catcher here! And they match so perfectly the warmly sunlit trees (and also the house) in the background.
Composition-wise, there is such an interesting triangle which makes the scene very lively. Very pleasant photo full of warm atmosphere even despite the cold weather :) Interesting Note!
Kind regards,
Elena

paololg (13757) 2009-02-15 14:05

Ciao dear Lasse,
your photos always have a beautiful horizontal light. I have spent some days in mountain and seeing so much snow and frozen lakes I have remembered your beautiful photos. As you tell the notes the ice is suggestive but it creates so many logistic problems to the isolated people. I hope that the spring arrives soon! :-)
Ciao, have a nice week!
Paolo

ciakgiak (10688) 2009-02-16 1:19

Ciao Lasse,
ti scrivo in Italiano altrimenti non riesco a descrivere quanto mi piace questa immagine.
C'è una luce ed un'atmosfera speciale qui, le due barchette rosse fanno tanto composizione e sono perfettamente collocate col loro bel colore,
la grande lastra di ghiaccio è una grande attrazione per gli occhi, un paesaggio splendidamente composto insomma.
Congratulazioni, buona settimana.
Giorgio

saxo042 (15650) 2009-02-16 5:17

Hej Lasse,
You have caught the splendid afternoon light in a very good way. The small boats and the distant trees look beautiful here. The blue tones of the shadowed snow are also very attractive. Would be nice to sit in a sauna here and roll around in the snow afterwards (and quickly back to the sauna...)
Hälsningar
Gunnar

ktanska (16567) 2009-02-16 5:47

Hei Lasse,
Red boats are perfect highlight for the foreground. New ice looks great. (I wish we had such here, but everything is under snow of course.)
Good framing, there's nice details everywhere.
Kari

zeca (20026) 2009-02-19 21:23

Hello Lasse!
Its a very good capture! I like to see it a lot, and for me its a very different view. The lights are very nice and you did a nice composition. TFS! How many hours of sun do you have at this month
Regards,
Zeca

gracious (20017) 2009-02-21 12:42

Hello Lasse,
So beautiful with the winter sunlight over the strait!

Hi Lasse,
The view is very scenic and it looks like you have chosen the best POV and the ideal light, which makes the photo absolutely gorgeous. The little red boats make it very special.

Hejsan Lasse
I like winter images where the shadows are so blue and in contrast to the yellow withe lighted part of the snow.
fantastic Ice and a good eyecatcher in the dinghies.

Maged (1454) 2009-03-24 23:46
