Lakeside October picnic Photo

Photographer’s Note

A little break from my travelouge to the fjords with this photo.

Another lake in the middle of my town: Oslo. On the west side this time,the lake Sogsvatn, very popular for a Sunday walk.

On the other side you see a family on this fine Sunday in October. Lot of activities: Fishing, preparing food, picking small branches for a little fire etc.

I've got a feeling I've seen this lake before, great light and PoV catching the autumn colours in reflection.

naxius (16679) 2004-10-27 4:14

Superb composition, I like the colors, the light, the reflexion on the water. This is perfect.
Well done Jack.
Thank for sharing with us.

Great photo, I like everything in it, the color, composition, and the reflection. Congratulation.

Hi Jack, there is no real point to focus on here, the fishers are too far way for that but the strength of the photo is elsewhere, in the superb fall colors and the nice reflection of the trees in the water.

Cool-ice (5289) 2004-10-27 4:33

I will not be constructive with my critic, because it's just the wonderful landscape that I like.
It's perfectly catched here, and I appreciate the characters to give an idea of the imposing scale.
Really beautiful, I am under the charm, thank you Jack !

papagolf21 (54110) 2004-10-27 4:45

L'amour du beau n'est rien d'autre que la suprême poésie de la nature !
Comment rester indifférent à une telle beauté. Merci Jack, de nous faire partager un tel spectacle.
Un tableau vivant !
Félicitations.

Fantastic reflections and wonderful landscape shot Jack! You did capture perfectly the tones of the warm autumn colors...

ChrisJ (65337) 2004-10-27 6:09

Wow!

Stunning reflections of these spectacular autumn toned foliage of golds, greens & oranges. The people on the distant bank add scale. Well done!

Jack congratiolation with your 8000 points. Yoe send us a great autumn photo, the reflection is great, the colours are super, and the details off the fishing men are nice. Very good job I like it.

RAP (1053) 2004-10-27 7:16

Simple y efectiva composicion con gran colorido y excelente reflexion.
Perfecto encuadre sobre la copa de la primera línea de árboles y sus reflejos.
Consulto por mi ignorancia... por qué la elección del ISO 800?

Simple and effective composition with great colorful and excellent reflection.
Perfect frame on the cup of forward edge of trees and its reflections.
I consult by my ignorance... why the election of the ISO 800?

jhm (76890) 2004-10-27 7:41

Jack, wath a lovely picture, the reflections are fantastic, the autumn colours really but beautiful, the trees on the background Jack are a painting. My compliments for this.

Spoony (3539) 2004-10-27 11:45

It is supposed I say something? I don´t think so... ;)
Absolutly fantastic!

nwoehnl (61227) 2004-10-27 13:36

Beautiful catch, Jack. The seasonal foliage colors and the autumn light are very well captured in this delightful scene that is given an almost poetic touch with the grand reflection. The people on the shore are a nice addition. Very good, all done right on this one.

Rockyboy (20566) 2004-10-27 14:54

Wonderful automn colors, Jack! The relfections are splendid too and i like to see this fisherman on the other side. Well done!

Quite a lovely autumn photo. The reflection in the water was accurately and beautifully captured. It is sharp, crisp, and clear. Very Nice!

maphoto (8076) 2004-10-27 23:18

Great compsosition Jack, excellent cropping and wonderful colors and reflection, well seen.

avigur_11 (21247) 2004-10-27 23:53

A perfect reflectin and wonderful fall colors. I like the way you divided the frame in two. Excellent, Jack.

orme (6727) 2004-10-28 2:57

A very beautiful shot, Jack. The reflection is excellent and I like how the colours in the reflection seem to be enriched. Well seen and framed.

Rhiannon (1726) 2004-10-28 9:16

I have been missing out on a lot of your great photos lately, I have some catching up to do :)
This one is beautiful. Nice, simple composition, the family makes a great focus point, espescially the person in the red jacket.
Beautiful, natural, warm autumn colours. Wonderful reflection in the lake.
Nice light and contrasts. Looks like a peaceful place for a walk or a picnic. Nicely captured.

jiherka (4439) 2004-10-28 18:32

Nice automnal view, where the reflection has different colours... have you make a correction of the colour on the water side? If no, you have seen something very beatiful. Thanks to share it.
Well done Jack

Hi Jack
As the thumbnail came up on your protfolio, I said, Oh, this is NICE, and it is really and truly a wallhanger, beautiful colours, and even better bigger. Love the golds and deeps browns here.

elihesamian (26033) 2004-10-30 6:32

Very beautiful,a great warm/poetical/symmetrical/vivid/sharp/...and lovely autumnal shot:)
Nicely done,Jack,I love it.

hdl (6723) 2004-10-30 12:07

Very good autumn colours. I like the composition a lot.

Gael (245) 2004-10-31 11:02

A great relaxing photo Jack. It's a pleasure for the eyes.

gepall (1808) 2004-10-31 15:53

The most precious golden mirror i have ever seen
;-)

markogts (1110) 2004-11-01 6:25

Great colours. I think it's almost perfect: just to say, maybe you could have chosen a larger field in order to put the horizon exactly in the middle of the frame, to enhance the refelction effect. Maybe I would also rotate the frame for a zeropoint ccw, and then crop out the foreground leaf on the right, or put it decisely into the frame to create a DOF.

ephemere33 (9703) 2004-11-01 14:54

j'aime beaucoup cette photo même est dejà très bien côtée et je t'en félicite...les couleurs sont tres élogieuses...en pleine nature d'Automne...et de plus une reflection est de toute beauté....bravo et merci...amicalement BI

sunny (3068) 2004-11-02 10:21

A textbook example, Jack! ;-)) Fantastic light and water reflections, together with the lovely textures of trees and lake surface. The tiny figures of people add life to it whithout being dominating in the magic scenery. Excellent job again, Jack!

Mrgud (0) 2004-11-06 20:04

Wow! :) What a beautiful reflection and colors on this wather! Beautiful photo! :)

jean-marie (3088) 2004-11-07 5:59

Magnifiques couleurs d'automne et grande sérénité avec ces eaux si calme. c'est très très beau

pulezan (680) 2004-11-12 7:55

Wow! Just one word to write - perfect. I think here is nothing else to say.

Homerhomer (4005) 2004-11-15 21:51

Lovely colours and reflections, the deep colours of the lake are fantastic, tiny poeple enjoying themselves are quite a link between the nature and us.
Great job.
Peter

rabani (9346) 2004-11-16 3:14

I love this autumn lakeside reflection Jack. Warm with green and yellow and a quiet scene by the lake, in autumn. Except I'm not too sure about the leaves on the right side of this photo Jack. Too little to be of a frame and almost insignificant to add anything. What do you think Jack, maybe we could cloned it off don't you think?

Motrem (2392) 2005-01-12 9:45

I have just discovered this photo of magnificent autumn. Colours are magnificent and the reflections colored in this water almost black frissonnante are of a good beauty. The persons add and complete the set. Great shot!

Je viens de découvrir cette photo d'automne magnifique. Les couleurs sont superbes et les reflets colorés dans cette eau frissonnante presque noire sont d'une grande beauté. Les personnages ajoutent et complètent l'ensemble. Bien fait.

ydarias (657) 2005-02-22 7:18

Very nice reflect.

bernardlc (30) 2005-07-23 1:31

That's just a gorgeous view! Nice golden autumn colors... and good use of the reflection in the lake.

umbrellaphotos (2850) 2006-03-28 18:23

Nice rich colors captured here! Your composition is great with the trees reflecting in the water. No real complaints here!
